The US Navy and Marine Corps have selected the Damen LST-100 as the design for the new Landing Ship Medium (LSM) class. Targeting a 2026 construction start, this program replaces the Light Amphibious Warship (LAW) concept with a proven, commercial design capable of beaching directly on shorelines. This is critical for the Marine Corps' Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) in the Indo-Pacific. #LSM #LST100 #Damen #USNavy #DefenseNews #USMC #Navy #Geopolitics #MilitaryTech #Shipbuilding #
