Final delivery of Zumwalt-class destroyer Monsoor delayed

摘要

The final delivery of the Zumwalt-class destroyer Michael Monsoor (DDG-1001) has been delayed two years, a Navy spokesman told Inside Defense. Originally scheduled for September 2020, the final delivery of the Monsoor with its combat systems is now set for fiscal year 2022, Alan Baribeau, a spokesman for Naval Sea Systems Command, told Inside Defense last month. While the Monsoor completed combat systems availability in March 2020, the Navy has changed its plan for final delivery as the ship activates its weapons, sensors and communication systems and participates in testing this year, Baribeau said.
