 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Andrew Johnson. These are your headlines from around the fleet. Latoral Combat Ship Squadron 2 was established November 7th at a ceremony held at Naval Station, Mayport, Florida. The command will support the arrival of Latoral Combat Ships or LCSs in Mayport starting in 2016. Up to 900 support squadron staff and ship crew members are expected to work at the headquarters. A new ship platform will be hitting the fleet soon. Textron Incorporated began production of the Navy's first ship-to-shore connector, or SSC, on November 17th. The SSC will replace the existing fleet of LCAC vehicles. SSCs will be high-speed, fully amphibious landing crafts capable of carrying a 74-ton payload and will travel at speeds of more than 35 knots. The enclosed personnel transport module can hold up to 145 combat-equipped Marines or 108 casualty personnel.
