LPD-28

LPD-28 will be the 12th San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship of the United States Navy.

LPD-28 will feature design improvements developed in connection with the Navy's development of a next-generation landing dock ship, known as LX(R). The LX(R) is intended to replace current USS Whidbey Island (LSD-41) and USS Harpers Ferry (LSD-49) class landing dock ships. In 2014, the Navy commenced design of LX(R) based on a modified San Antonio-class design. Because this design work is in progress, the Navy has created design innovations and cost-reduction strategies around the San Antonio-class design, and the Navy believes that it can apply these innovations and strategies to LPD-28, allowing it to be built at reduced cost. This will make LPD-28 a "transitional ship" between the current San Antonio-class design and future LX(R) vessels.

In March 2016, the city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida said that the Navy would be naming LPD-28 in honor of the city. However, the Navy has not announced a name for LPD-28, and the Navy continues to refer to LPD-28 by hull number only.
