History

Historical Context

In the late 1990s the U.S. Navy, alarmed by shallow-water threats, replaced the cancelled DD-21 with a family of littoral combat ships; Admiral Vernon Clark made the LCS the 2003 budget priority and a $1.1 billion General Dynamics contract launched the first modular vessel in 2005. That modular legacy underpins Hyliion’s 2024 $41.7 million award for plug-in hybrid power modules.
