Gulf-built LCS-4 in Brunei

The U.S. Navy’s Independence-class Littoral Combat Ship USS Coronado (LCS-4) – built on the Gulf Coast at Austal USA Shipyard in Mobile, Ala. - is currently in Brunei waters as part of a goodwill visit, and docked at the Muara Commercial Port. Coronado is in Brunei for the first time as part of a 16-month deployment to the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. For the deployment, which began in October, the San Diego-based Coronado is being berthed at Singapore’s Changi Naval Base. The ship’s CO, Cmdr. Scott Larson, said, before leaving Brunei next week, Coronado will be conducting exercises with assets from the Royal Brunei Navy. (Source: Bandarseri Begawan (Brunei) Bulletin 02/17/17)
