SAN DIEGO - Littoral Combat Ship Crew 204, which had been deployed aboard USS Coronado (LCS 4) since last June, returned to its homeport of San Diego on April 16 following the ship's maiden overseas deployment. Crew 204 turned the ship over to Crew 203 on April 15, which marked the midway point of Coronado's deployment into the Asia-Pacific region, and was the halfway point of the first Independence variant's LCS deployment.
