SOUTH CHINA SEA – (Dec. 16, 2015) – Cmdr. Michael Atwell, commanding officer of LCS Crew 101, observes Engineman 1st Class Silvano Becerra make the necessary engineering adjustments for the USS Fort Worth (LCS 3) to operate at high speeds. Fort Worth is currently responding to a man overboard from merchant vessel in the area. Currently on a rotational deployment in support of the Asia-Pacific Rebalance, Fort Worth is a fast and agile warship tailor-made to patrol the region’s littorals and work hull-to-hull with partner navies, providing 7th Fleet with the flexible capabilities it needs now and in the future.
