The McClung class is a planned class of Landing Ship Medium (LSM) currently under development for the United States Navy. Formerly known as the Light Amphibious Warship (LAW) program, the class is designed to support the United States Marine Corps' Force Design 2030 concept. Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro announced in January 2025 that the class would be named after Major Megan McClung, the first female Marine Corps officer killed in combat during the Iraq War.
