First Flight III Destroyer Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125) Sails Away From HII’s Ingalls Shipbuilding
27 September 2023 - 12:45AM
The first Flight III Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer
Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125) departed HII’s (NYSE: HII) Ingalls
Shipbuilding division Tuesday. DDG 125 will be commissioned Oct. 7,
2023 at a ceremony in Tampa, Florida, before sailing to its
homeport in San Diego.
“Watching Jack H. Lucas sail away is a proud moment for our
entire DDG shipbuilding team,” Ingalls Shipbuilding DDG Program
Manager Ben Barnett said. “Our shipbuilders will follow this first
Flight III destroyer with honor as it joins the fleet as one of the
most highly capable destroyers we have delivered.”
Ingalls has delivered 35 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers to the
U.S. Navy including the Jack H.Lucas (DDG 125), in June of this
year. Additionally, Ingalls has four other Flight III destroyers
currently under construction including Ted Stevens (DDG 128),
Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129), George M. Neal (DDG 131)
and Sam Nunn (DDG 133).
Flight III Arleigh Burke-class destroyers incorporate a number
of design modifications that collectively provide significantly
enhanced capability. DDG 125 includes the AN/SPY-6(V)1 Air and
Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) and the Aegis Baseline 10 Combat
System that are designed to keep pace with the threats well into
the 21st century.

Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are highly capable, multi-mission
ships and can conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime
presence and crisis management to sea control and power projection.
Guided missile destroyers are the backbone of the U.S. surface
fleet and are capable of fighting multiple air, surface and
subsurface threats simultaneously.
