USS Detroit (LCS-7) was the fourth Freedom-class littoral combat ship of the United States Navy.
[12] The ship will also feature automated sensors to allow "conditions-based maintenance" and reduce crew overwork and fatigue issues that Freedom had on her first deployment.
On 8 March 2017, Detroit fired a vertical-launched AGM-114 Hellfire missile, the first such launch from a littoral combat ship.
[17] The Hellfire system is meant to engage small vessels and strike targets on land.
[20] On 21 June 2023 Detroit got underway for its final deployment to the 4th fleet AOR to support regional cooperation and security.
