Description

Introduced in 2000, the DDG 51 Flight IIA ships incorporate two hangars for two SH-60B helicopters as well as aircraft facilities. The latest Burke-class ships also feature a zonal electrical system, an advanced water purification system, and other shipboard improvements. The US Navy is commissioned 40 destroyers of this class between 2000 and 2022 thus becoming the backbone of its naval surface fighting force deployable worldwide. Bath Iron Works, a General Dynamics company, was awarded a $562 million contract for the construction of the final Burke-class destroyer, known as DDG 112, on January 21, 2005. DDG 112, the 34th ship of this class built by Bath Iron Works, is expected to be delivered to the US Navy by December 2010. The ship is part of fiscal year 2002-2005 multi-year procurement contract which was originally awarded in September 2002. DDG 112 completes a series of 62 ships built in three variants. Another 10 ships will be added to the US fleet between 2016 and 2023.
