A New Dawn for the future USS Augusta 🌅    Recently we marked the culmination of our Final Contract Trials (FCT) for Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) 34, the future USS Augusta, where our incredible crew, led by CDR Christopher Polnaszek, has demonstrated their unparalleled confidence and proficiency. FCT is more than just a final test—it's a chance to prove that Augusta is not just ready but primed to redefine what’s possible in naval operations. With the ship fully equipped, armed, and ready for service, these trials ensure every detail meets the highest standards before we embark on our Post-Shakedown Availability (PSA).    Bravo Zulu to the dedicated crew and the state-of-the-art capabilities that will drive us forward. Here’s to the future of naval excellence. ⚓️ Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) U.S. Naval Surface Force Austal USA #USSAugusta #FinalContractTrials #SurfaceWarfare #NavalExcellence #NewBeginnings #Navy #GoNavy 

🌊🚀 Bullseye! Achieving new heights at #RIMPAC2024!    The US Navy achieved a significant milestone at the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2024 exercise with the successful launching and testing of Poniard rockets from a Common Unmanned Surface Vehicle (CUSV). The test is part of the Navy’s mission to continually enhance and expand its capabilities and operations in collaboration with allies and partner navies.    The successful live-fire testing demonstrates the Navy’s commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology into its operations to maintain maritime superiority and readiness across the globe and the world’s oceans.    READ MORE: https://lnkd.in/eizZuX-a Office of the Chief of Naval Operations Textron Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA)  #PEOUSC #Milestone #Military #JointForce #RIMPAC #Navy #GoNavy   

Showcasing the power of #unmanned in the Pacific! 🚢 🌊 For a #FlashbackFriday, back in 2022, unmanned surface vessels (USVs) Nomad, Sea Hunter, and Ranger transit the Pacific Ocean to participate in the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2022 exercise. This marked the first time multiple US Navy USVs operated in the biennial exercise, extending the reach of the manned U.S. fleet with fewer risks to the warfighter. RIMPAC is the largest joint maritime exercise in the world. Lasting over five weeks and spanning extensive areas in the Pacific Ocean and the Hawaiian Islands, the multinational exercise includes hundreds of ships, submarines and aircraft—along with over 25,000 personnel. This year, #RIMPAC2024 continues to provide a unique training opportunity while fostering and sustaining cooperative relationships among participants critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world’s oceans.

🎆 "O Say, Can You See… the USS Marinette!" 🎶 The Navy’s littoral combat ship USS Marinette (LCS 25) made a grand appearance in Bristol, Rhode Island for the 4th of July holiday thanks to local community efforts. This special visit not only celebrated America’s Independence Day, but also honored the brave men and women of the US Navy. Rhode Islanders had a unique opportunity to see naval operations up close and personal as part of the celebration and festivities. Among the many visitors was U.S. Senator Jack Reed, Chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services, who witnessed the impressive capabilities of this state-of-the-art warship. The #USSMarinette, designed for both near-shore and open-ocean missions, plays a crucial role in maritime security, sea control, and global deterrence. With the motto “Freedom Done Wright” -- a play on the trade name “shipwright,” the USS Marinette pays homage to the shipbuilders and sailors who ensure freedom is defended the right way, every day. 🇺🇸 Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) United States Senate #GoNavy #4thofJuly #IndependenceDay #Navy #PEOUSC
