The U.S. Navy littoral combat ship USS "Fort Worth" (LCS-3) departs Naval Base San Diego for a scheduled 16-month rotational deployment to Singapore in support of the U.S. Navy's strategic rebalance to the Pacific. "Fort Worth" was the first littoral combat ship to deploy under the 3-2-1 manning concept, swapping fully trained crews roughly every four months and extending the littoral combat ship forward presence. It is named "3-2-1" because three rotational crews will support two LCS ships and maintain one deployed ship.
