 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Andrew Johnson. Construction of the Navy's ZoomWalt class destroyers is moving forward and making progress. DDG-1000, the future USS ZoomWalt, is currently 92% complete and undergoing its final stages of construction. ZoomWalt is successfully activating fuel systems and advanced engineering systems. While ZoomWalt is nearing completion, DDG-1001, the future Michael Monsour and DDG-1002, the future Lyndon B. Johnson, are still in the beginning stages of construction. DDG-1000 is named in honor of the Navy's 19th and youngest CNO, Admiral Elmo ZoomWalt. ZoomWalt class destroyers will be multi-mission surface combatants designed to fulfill volume firepower and precision strike requirements. They're expected to join the fleet in 2016.
