190516-N-EW498-611 NAVAL STATION MAYPORT (MAY. 16th, 2019) Boatswain’s Mate First Class Dustin Stone, acting as the Landing Signalman Enlisted (LSE) signals to the pilot which direction to fly to safely clear the Freedom Class Littoral Combat Ship USS Milwaukee (LCS-5). With simulators and training ships, like USS Milwaukee, the crews of Littoral Combat Ships can be certified without being on their own hull, which allows for the crews to transfer almost seamlessly and lets the ship remain on station longer for increased presence.
