General Dynamics Bath Iron Works (BIW) will procure long lead time material for the launch module of the large vertical launch system (VLS) onboard the guided missile destroyer, USS Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001).

The US Department of Defense (DoD) allocated $23m funds to the contractor on 10 July 2024; the work is due to be complete by April 2026.

DDG 1001 is the second of three US Navy Zumwalt-class destroyers. The vessels measure 610 feet (ft) in length and have an 80.7ft beam. They have a displacement of 15,997 tonnes with a sustained speed of 30 knots.
 
Among a group of preeminent American defence manufacturers developing the class, BIW serves as the main builder of the vessels. Other major subcontractors include Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems Land and Armaments and Boeing.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The Navy seems determined to find something, ANYTHING, for that class of ship to do. :shrug:

In the meantime, they can't seem to retire platforms that work fast enough--and it's not just the Navy. :pondering:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
