PIERRE, (KCCR) — The U-S-S Pierre remains under construction at Austal U-S-A in Mobile, Alabama. Pierre mayor Steve Harding says an artist from Sioux Falls has created a work of art depicting the Littoral Combat Ship or L-C-S fictitiously floating on Capitol Lake with the Capitol building behind it…
The painting got quite the unveiling at a legislative welcome at the American Legion cabin…
The ship will pass a major milestone this spring…
The commissioning is when the vessel officially becomes property of the United States Navy. Harding says the painting will hang in the public area of the Pierre Municipal Building where it will be on display for the community to view.
