Arleigh Burke-class DDGs are multi-mission vessels that are able to carry out a wide range of operations, from peacetime presence and crisis management to sea control and power projection.

In addition, the destroyers are capable of fighting air, surface and subsurface battles simultaneously.

Jack H. Lucas is the fifth of five destroyers being built by HII under a contract that was originally awarded to the company in June 2013.

The vessel forms part of a multi-year procurement initiative in support of the DDG 51 programme.

HII’s Ingalls shipbuilding division previously secured a contract modification to integrate Flight III upgrades on-board the DDG 125 in June last year.
