Aegis Baseline 10 for Joint Battle Management

Lockheed Martin Mission and Rotary Systems is working with shipbuilder Huntington Ingalls Industries to prepare for initial lightoff of the Aegis combat system on board the Arleigh Burke–class guided-missile destroyer Jack H. Lucas (DDG-125) late this year. Huntington is building the ship—the first of the Flight III ships—in Pascagoula, Mississippi.

Lockheed Martin is the longtime builder of the Aegis weapon system for the DDGs and the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers and acts as the Navy’s Aegis combat systems engineering agent. The system software going on board the nearly bow-to-stern redesigned Flight III ships is designated Baseline 10 and will control the ship’s full suite of weapon systems, including the new SPY-6 air-and-missile-defense radar, which is built by Raytheon.

Jim Sheridan, general manager of Lockheed Martin’s Aegis site in Moorestown, New Jersey, says the two companies are working on integration of the Baseline 10

A close encounter with a Chinese aircraft carrier has become a badge of honor for a US Navy destroyer crew

In spring 2021, US Navy destroyer USS Mustin was assigned to keep an eye on a Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning.
Mustin tracked the carrier Liaoning in the South China Sea and made sure the world knew how close it got.
The encounter and China's reaction have become a point of pride for Mustin's crew, a top US admiral says.

Navy Says Destroyer is ‘Out of Commission’ After Florida Judge Blocks Removal of Unvaccinated CO

An East Coast guided-missile destroyer is “out of commission” after a federal judge in Florida prevented the Navy from removing its commanding officer for his refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19, the service said in ongoing legal action.

Judge Steven Merryday ruled in a February decision that the Navy cannot remove an unnamed commanding officer despite what the service says is a lack of confidence in his ability to lead because his religious objections to the COVID-19 vaccine are protected by federal law.

The Navy, on the other hand, has said it will not deploy anyone who is not fully vaccinated, and, in this particular case, will not allow a commander it no longer trusts to lead one of its ships.

This has led to an impasse as the Navy awaits to hear if the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit will hear the case.

But legal experts told USNI News the case speaks to a potentially bigger problem for the military as it could set a new precedent where federal judges no longer defer to the military when it comes to personnel and operational decisions. . . . .

US Navy 80% Responsible for 2017 Collision, Tanker Owner to Pay $45M


The United States was assigned 80 percent of the responsibility for causing a deadly 2017 collision between the guided missile destroyer USS John McCain and a Liberian-registered oil tanker Alnic MC in the Singapore Strait according to a decision filed on June 15 by a U.S. District Court Judge in the Southern District of New York. In this 70-page decision, the judge reconstructs the minutes leading up to the collision as he sought to apportion liability for the collision and calculates the respective damages for the U.S. Navy and the tanker’s owners Energetic Tank.
