USS Jackson completes acceptance trials
The US Navy's future USS Jackson Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) has completed sea acceptance trials, the Naval Sea Systems Command announced on 30 June.
The acceptance trials concluded on 26 June after the completion of in-port and underway graded demonstrations for the navy's board of inspection and survey. The final delivery of the ship will take place later in the summer.
The ship's handling, propulsion plant and auxiliary systems were demonstrated in the trials, which lasted five days. In the underway part of its trials the ship successfully launched and recovered its 11m rigid hull inflatable boat. It also conducted a full power run, surface and air detect-to-engage exercises and achieved speeds greater than 40 knots.
The USS Jackson (LCS 6) will be commissioned in December and will have San Diego, California as its home port, along with its sister ships USS Freedom (LCS 1), USS Independence (LCS 2), USS Fort Worth (LCS 3) and USS Coronado (LCS 4).
