The US Navy’s Zumwalt-class (DDG 1000) guided missile destroyer, USS Lyndon B Johnson (DDG 1002), has successfully completed builder’s trials.
These trials, which included in-port and at-sea demonstrations, enabled the US Navy and shipbuilder General Dynamics Bath Iron Works (GD BIW) to test the ship’s systems.
US Navy Program Executive Office (PEO) Ships programme manager captain Matthew Schroeder said: “Trials provide an opportunity for the navy and industry team to test the capability and readiness of the ship.
“DDG 1002 is a warship that is going to equip our fleet with next-generation capability and capacity for the high-end fight.”
With the completion of the builder’s trials, the vessel is ready to prove its hull, mechanical, and electrical systems, and complete the installation and activation of the combat systems.
