The US Navy has commissioned USS Jack H Lucas (DDG-125), its first Flight III variant Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, in Tampa, Florida.
US Navy Undersecretary Erik Raven led the ship’s commissioning ceremony, stressing the importance of DDG-125’s role in the US’ push for advanced defense protocols.
He said, Commissioning the Jack H. Lucas means we continue to deliver fast, agile, and networked surface combatants to the Navy. The Jack H. Lucas is built to fight. It is a fast, maneuverable, versatile, and lethal ship – capable of tackling any mission it is given,”
He added, “It will keep the Navy and Marine Corps adaptive and ready, and also uphold our commitment to maintaining the free flow of commerce, deterring military aggression, and facilitating quick responses to natural disasters across the globe.”
