The Flight III destroyers, equipped with the AN/SPY-6 Air and Missile Defense Radar, will replace the Ticonderoga-class cruisers as the primary air defense platform for carrier strike groups. The contracts were awarded through a limited competition to ensure the best price for the government and taxpayers. The total value of the contract was not disclosed.

Multiple Fires Aboard USS Abraham Lincoln and Ingalls Shipbuilding Under Investigation

A fire broke out in the amphibious assault ship Bougainville, which is still under construction at Ingalls Shipbuilding. Two shipbuilders were transported to the hospital for smoke inhalation, while four others were treated on-site. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but initial findings suggest that hot work being performed nearby may have ignited flammable materials. The fire and smoke were contained to a small number of compartments, and no damage to the remainder of the ship or the shipyard was reported. Bougainville is the third America-class amphibious assault ship and was originally expected to deliver to the U.S. Navy in fiscal 2024, but the delivery date has been pushed to October 2025.
