Product Description: The Zumwalt-class Guided Missile Destroyer, specifically the Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG 1002), represents the cutting edge of naval warfare technology. Launched as the third and final ship in its class, the Lyndon B. Johnson is equipped with advanced combat systems designed to enhance operational effectiveness. In 2022, Ingalls Shipbuilding received a $41.6 million contract to initiate combat systems availability for this destroyer, followed by a $10.5 million contract in January 2023 for modernization planning of both USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) and USS Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001). These modernization efforts include significant upgrades such as the removal of the existing 155 mm Advanced Gun System mounts to facilitate the integration of new capabilities, positioning the Zumwalt-class as a leader in modern naval combat operations.
