WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Montgomery is the fourth littoral combat ship of the Independence variant, which features an innovative, trimaran hull for added stability, the release explained.

"Upon departing Mayport [Florida], the ship continued testing and training and made port visits to Norfolk; Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; Panama City, Panama; and Manzanillo, Mexico, before its arrival to San Diego" in the state of California, the release said on Thursday.

Littoral combat ships are high-speed vessels designed to operate in shallow coastal waters, either independently or as part of larger strike groups.
