A Lockheed Martin-led industry team has laid the keel for the future USS Indianapolis, the Navy's 17th littoral combat ship, the company announced Monday.

The ceremony took place at Fincantieri Marinette Marine in Wisconsin, Lockheed said in a statement.

Ship sponsor Jill Donnelly, the wife of U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly, R-Ind., authenticated the keel by welding her initials into a steel plate that will be placed in the ship's hull.

The Lockheed-led industry team is in full-rate production of the Freedom variant of the LCS, and has delivered three ships to the Navy to date.

The future USS Indianapolis is one of seven ships in various stages of construction at Fincantieri Marinette Marine.

The LCS team includes shipbuilder Fincantieri, naval architect Gibbs & cox and more than 500 suppliers in 37 states, Lockheed said.
