U.S. Navy successfully completed trial

the future USS Daniel Inouye (DDG 118) Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer Flight IIA for U.S. Navy successfully completed acceptance trials on February 4, 2021, after spending a day underway off the coast of Maine.

The USS Daniel Inouye DDG 118 was laid on 14 May 2018 and christened by Inouye's widow, Irene Hirano Inouye, on 22 June 2019. Daniel Inouye is a Flight IIA guided missile destroyer, equipped with the Aegis Baseline 9 Combat System, which includes Integrated Air and Missile Defense capability and enhanced Ballistic Missile Defense capabilities. This system delivers quick reaction time, high firepower, and increased electronic countermeasures capability against a variety of threats. She is the third of eight planned Flight IIA "technology insertion" ships, which will contain elements of the Flight III ships projected to begin with DDG-125.
