In a groundbreaking announcement that could redefine naval warfare, the U.S. Navy is set to commission ten of its deadliest vessels by 2025, significantly bolstering its combat readiness and global presence. This new fleet includes advanced submarines, destroyers, and amphibious assault ships, each armed with cutting-edge technology designed for modern warfare scenarios.

Leading the charge is the Iowa (SSN-797), a Virginia-class submarine poised for commissioning in Spring 2025. With a staggering displacement of 7,800 tons and capable of reaching speeds of 25 knots, the Iowa is equipped with Tomahawk missiles and can remain submerged for up to three months. Following closely is the USS Massachusetts (SSN-798), another Virginia-class submarine scheduled for commissioning in Boston, echoing the same formidable specifications.

The USS Harvey C. Barnum Jr. (DDG-124) and USS Louis H. Wilson Jr. (DDG-126) are set to join the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, enhancing the Navy’s striking power with advanced missile systems and a top speed of 31 knots. Meanwhile, the USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79), the second Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier, will be a game-changer with its capacity to deploy over 80 aircraft and advanced radar systems, expected to enter service in 2025.

The littoral combat ships, USS Cleveland (LCS-31) and USS Pierre (LCS-38), will bring unparalleled agility and firepower to coastal operations. The USS Bougainville (LHA-8) will also revolutionize amphibious assaults with its state-of-the-art design tailored for F-35B operations.

Completing this formidable lineup is the USCGC Argus (WMSM-915), a Heritage-class cutter that will enhance the Coast Guard’s capabilities with advanced radar and electronic warfare systems.

As these vessels prepare for their commissioning, the Navy is making a bold statement: America is ready to face any challenge on the high seas. The world will be watching as these titans of the ocean set sail, ready to defend freedom and maintain peace.
