Dramatic Move for US Coronado (Video)

Breakbulk Online - Video

Louisiana's Berard Transportation has completed the loadout of the U.S. Navy's newest addition to its fleet, the 2,800-ton Coronado. The Littoral Combat Ship was built by Austal in Mobile, Alabama.

Berard reported its team used 104 axle lines of self-propelled modular transporters to roll the 107-foot long, 418-foot wide vessel from its final assembly bay to a waiting deck barge. The Coronado was barged down river for transloading onto the drydock.

The move was completed in two days.
