First DDG 51 w/ NextGen weapons

Lasers, long-range precision-strike weapons, and over-the-horizon missile (OTH) attacks are a few expanded warfare missions planned for the fleet of DDG 51 Flight III destroyers. The tech backbone of these new ships, being integrated onto USS Jack Lucas (DDG 125), is a new family of AN/SPY-6 high-power radar systems that brings improvements to threat tracking, identification and counterattack. USS Jack Black is under construction at HII-Pascagoula, Miss. (Source: Fox News 12/13/20) https://www.foxnews.com/tech/navy-arms-first-new-flight-iii-destroyer-with-next-gen-weapons
