Last Zumwalt-class destroyer conducts builder's trials

The Navy's last Zumwalt-class destroyer Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG-1002) recently conducted builder's trials.

General Dynamics Bath Iron Works and the Navy tested the ship's capability and readiness through at-sea and in-port demonstrations, according to the Navy.

The Johnson is the third and final Zumwalt-class ship to be added to the destroyer fleet.

The program fell behind on the delivery of the hull, mechanical and electrical delivery, which was initially scheduled for December 2020.

The Johnson will now complete combat systems installation and activation, according to the press release.
