USS Zumwalt DDG 1000 Delivered to U.S. Navy After Combat System Activation
USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000) was delivered to the U.S. Navy fleet after completing its combat system activation and subsequent at-sea trials, two sources told USNI News.
The destroyer will now count towards the Navy’s battle force ship totals, though operationally the announcement of the delivery doesn’t change much for the ship crew or the fleet. Zumwalt will still continue conducting at-sea developmental and integrated testing, ahead of next year’s planned initial operational test and evaluation (IOT&E) and declaration of initial operational capability (IOC).

First S2150 Sonar Fitted Aboard Royal Navy Type 23 Frigate HMS Portland
HMS Portland becomes the first ship to be fitted with Ultra’s next generation Hull Mounted Sonar Type 2150 as part of a wider refit to the Royal Navy’s frigates.
The sonar has been designed by Ultra Electronics Command & Sonar Systems and will replace the legacy Sonar Type 2050, which has been in Royal Navy service since the 1990s. The new sonar incorporates a state of the art User Interface to improve operator effectiveness and usability. The digital control of the outboard array minimises interference, reduces ships cabling, maximises reliability and extends array maintenance intervals to at least 5 years. The sonar will be fitted to eight of the Royal Navy Type 23 frigates. Ultra has also been awarded the contract to supply this sonar to the first three Royal Navy Type 26 frigates currently under construction.
