USS Sioux City (LCS 11):
 
Sioux City was delivered to the Navy by Lockheed Martin and the Marinette Marine shipyard on 22 August 2018 along with sister ship Wichita in a double delivery. The ship was commissioned at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland on 17 November 2018, and then assigned to Littoral Combat Ship Squadron Two.

In September 2020, Sioux City was assigned to the US Southern Command with a United States Coast Guard law enforcement detachment on board to help perform counter-narcotics operations.

In May 2022, Sioux City was assigned to the Sixth Fleet, while she was equipped with a surface warfare module. In late May, Sioux City was re-assigned to the Fifth Fleet and assigned to the Combined Task Force (CTF) 153 in the Red Sea.

On 2 October 2022, Sioux City arrived at her homport of Mayport after a five-month deployment, becoming the first LCS to operate in the Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Northern Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman, and Persian Gulf.
