Navymissioning new USS Jackson littoral combat ship in Gulfport - The Republic

GULFPORT, Mississippi — The Navy will commission its newest shallow-water, near-shore combat ship in Gulfport next July.

The USS Jackson was christened in March at the Austal USA Shipyard on Mobile Bay. It's the first naval vessel named for Mississippi's state capital.

The Jackson has been undergoing testing since its launch in December, and it is expected to be delivered to the Navy early next year after trials.

The Jackson is a "littoral" combat ship, meaning it's designed to operate in shallow water.

The Sun Herald reports (http://bit.ly/XS2KTz ) Gulfport chief administrative officer John Kelly announced the commissioning during a business club speech Tuesday.

Kelly says the city is soliciting money from businesses and selling $10 commemorative coins to help cover the costs of bringing the ship to Gulfport.

GULFPORT, Mississippi — A group that inventoried Gulfport's assets says the city needs better signage to attract tourists.

The Sun Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1tJ1Qn5 ) ten teams of three surveyors each from outside the area scoured Gulfport to determine where the city can expand and what it desperately needs to fix.

The group, from the Mississippi Development Authority, said this was the largest "asset mapping" in state history. The state makes available these surveyors to provide a fresh set of eyes to cities in Mississippi.

The report released Tuesday found Gulfport has too many overgrown vacant lots and the city's parks need more attention.

Navymissioning new USS Jackson littoral combat ship in Gulfport - The Republic

GULFPORT, Mississippi — The Navy will commission its newest shallow-water, near-shore combat ship in Gulfport next July.

The USS Jackson was christened in March at the Austal USA Shipyard on Mobile Bay. It's the first naval vessel named for Mississippi's state capital.

The Jackson has been undergoing testing since its launch in December, and it is expected to be delivered to the Navy early next year after trials.

The Jackson is a "littoral" combat ship, meaning it's designed to operate in shallow water.

The Sun Herald reports (http://bit.ly/XS2KTz ) Gulfport chief administrative officer John Kelly announced the commissioning during a business club speech Tuesday.

Kelly says the city is soliciting money from businesses and selling $10 commemorative coins to help cover the costs of bringing the ship to Gulfport.
