man G. Rickover (SSN 709), which served from 1984 to 2006. Adm. Rickover served for 63 years on


active duty service, making him the longest serving member of the U.S. armed forces in history. In the late 1940s, Adm. Rickover was made director of the Naval Reactors Branch of the Bureau of Ships and he subse- quently led the eff orts to develop what would become the USS Nautilus, the world's fi rst nuclear-powered submarine. Adm. Rick- over also established and enforced strict safety standards, leading to the U.S. Navy's safety record of over 162,000,000 miles safely steamed on nuclear power. Other Virginia-class milestones this

year include the commissioning of the USS Indiana (SSN 789) and the combined keel laying and christening of USS Vermont (SSN 792), both currently projected to occur in the fall. This next-generation attack submarine


provides the Navy with the capabilities required to maintain the nation's undersea superiority well into the 21st century. Virginia-class submarines are built


to operate in the world's littoral and deep waters while conducting anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface ship warfare; strike warfare; special operation forces support; intelligence, surveillance and reconnais- sance; and mine warfare missions. Their inherent stealth, endurance, mobility and fi repower directly enable them to support fi ve of the six maritime strategy core ca- pabilities-sea control, power projection, forward presence, maritime security, and deterrence.


Future USS Thomas Hudner Completes Acceptance Trials


From Team Ships Public Aff airs


BATH, Maine (NNS) -- The future USS Thomas Hudner (DDG 116) successfully completed acceptance trials May 3 after spending a day underway off the coast of Maine.


The U.S. Navy's Board of Inspection


and Survey (INSURV), the governing body that recommends the ship be delivered to the Navy, evaluated the ship's construction and compliance with Navy specifi cations. INSURV reviewed the ship and its crew


during a series of demonstrations while pier side and underway. Many of the ship's onboard systems including navigation, damage control, mechanical and electrical


systems, combat systems, communications and propulsion applications that were tested to validate performance met or exceeded Navy specifi cations. "The success of the Bath Iron Works


(BIW) built future USS Thomas Hudner during acceptance trials is a testament to the continued quality and high performance of our Navy's destroyers," said Capt. Casey Moton, DDG 51 class program manager, Program Executive Offi ce (PEO) Ships. "The Thomas Hudner is a very capable warfi ghter that will be a signifi cant asset to the fl eet."


Thomas Hudner is equipped with the


AEGIS Baseline 9 Combat System which includes an Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) capability incorporating Ballistic Missile Defense 5.0 Capability Upgrade and Naval Integrated Fire Con- trol-Counter Air. The ship's IAMD radar will provide increased computing power and radar upgrades that improve detection and reaction capabilities against modern air warfare threats. Following delivery, DDG 116 will be


the 36th Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) class destroyer to be delivered by BIW. The shipyard is currently in production on future destroyers Daniel Inouye (DDG 118), Carl M. Levin (DDG 120) and John Basilone (DDG 122), as well as the future Zumwalt class destroyer, Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG 1002). As one of the Defense Department's


largest acquisition organizations, PEO Ships is responsible for executing the develop- ment and procurement of all destroyers, am- phibious ships, special mission and support ships, and boats and craft.


Navy Accepts Delivery of Future USS Michael Monsoor


From Team Ships Public Aff airs


BATH, Maine (NNS) -- The Navy accepted hull, mechanical and electrical (HM&E) delivery of the future USS Michael Mon- soor (DDG 1001) from shipbuilder General Dynamics Bath Iron Works (BIW) April 24. Delivery of DDG 1001 follows exten-


sive tests, trials and demonstrations of the ship's HM&E systems, including the boat handling, anchor and mooring systems as well as major demonstrations of the damage control, ballasting, navigation and commu- nications systems. "Delivery of DDG 1001 marks the

culmination of years of dedication and hard work from our Navy and industry team," said Capt. Kevin Smith, DDG 1000 pro- gram manager, Program Executive Offi ce, Ships. "We have incorporated many lessons learned from DDG 1000 and are proud of the end result. DDG 1001 will be a tremendous asset to the Navy." The 610-foot, wave-piercing tumble-


home ship design provides a wide array of advancements. The shape of the superstruc- ture and the arrangement of its antennas sig- nifi cantly reduce radar cross section, making the ship less visible to enemy radars. Like the fi rst ship of the class, USS


Zumwalt (DDG 1000), DDG 1001 em- ploys an innovative and highly survivable integrated power system (IPS), distributing 1,000 volts of direct current across the ship. The IPS's unique architectural capabilities include the ability to allocate all 78 mega- watts of installed power to propulsion, ship's service and combat system loads from the same gas turbine prime movers based on


operational requirements. DDG 1000-class ships are delivered


through a two-phase approach in which combat systems are installed and activated subsequent to HM&E delivery. Following HM&E delivery, Michael Monsoor will transit to its homeport in San Diego, Califor- nia, for commissioning in January 2019 and to begin combat systems activation, testing and trials. DDG 1001 is the second ship of the


Zumwalt class. The third and fi nal ship of the class, the future USS Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG 1002), is currently in construction at BIW's shipyard along with Arleigh Burke- class destroyers Daniel Inouye (DDG 118), Carl M. Levin (DDG 120) and John Basilone (DDG 122). As one of the Defense Department's


largest acquisition organizations, PEO Ships is responsible for executing the develop- ment and procurement of all destroyers, am- phibious ships, special mission and support ships and special warfare craft.
