Just a quick P3P dust off of a near by water feature. Quick jump over to the DOD projects.

As luck would have it, USS 1002 (LBJ) left the dock at BIW this morning. Sea trials I expect. ...39 were ordered by the USDOD at 1.4b per copy. Cost overruns at 81% brought the price of one (unarmed) unit to over 12b so they cut back to 26 ... then 16 ... then 12 ... and finally cancelled the program after DGG-1002 (the LBJ) (the third and final one) sailed the week before this post. DOD is now RE-contracting for the Arleigh Burke class of destroyers yet again.
