WATCH: US Navy ship to be named after Michigan city
LANSING, Mich. (WILX) – Monday, Governor Gretchen Whitmer will announce a future expeditionary fast transport ship named “USS Lansing,” honoring Michigan’s capital city for the first time in history.
The ship is currently being built and is in the first official steps in the long commissioning process.
Following the event, Gov. Whitmer will travel to Warren to announce the launch of jobs programs and pipelines that will create new employment opportunities for Michiganders. The program—the Michigan Maritime Manufacturing (M3) Initiative—will partner with the Navy and other federal, state, and local partners to fill the maritime manufacturing and engineering gaps that exist today.
