LCS 2 gets a close-up
June 27th, 2011 | Navy | Posted by Joshua Stewart
It hasn’t been discussed at all before now, but the littoral combat ship Independence has a mission module completely devoted to digital animation. It’s very high tech and very, very secret.
Or something like that.
The ship apparently makes a cameo appearance in “Cars 2,” as seen in the below trailer, venturing to an archipelago of oil rigs more dangerous than the Bermuda triangle for a rendezvous with a British spy. Exactly what role the LCS plays is unclear, but it may be some sort of transport ship, judging by the clips available.

June 28th, 2011 at 2:05 pmThe clip is deceiving because the narration and picture are not together in the actual movie. There are 2, and they feature in a couple action/chase sequences.
