On July 8, the future USS John Basilone (DDG 122) was delivered to the U.S. Navy.
The delivery marks the official handover of a ship from the shipbuilder to the Navy. Before delivery, the ship undergoes a series of at-sea and pier-side trials to prove its readiness.
A keel-laying ceremony for the ship was held in 2020, followed by its christening two years later.
Capt. Seth Miller, DDG 51 Class program manager, Program Executive Office (PEO), Ships said,
“The future USS John Basilone will bring significant capability to the fleet and strengthen our advantage at sea. DDG 122 and all of its Sailors will be a living reminder of the perseverance and sacrifice exhibited by its remarkable namesake.”
PEO Ships, one of the Department of Defense’s largest acquisition organizations, is responsible for executing the development and procurement of all destroyers, amphibious ships and craft, auxiliary ships, special mission ships, sealift ships and support ships.
