  • Destroyers (DDG 51)
    The Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) destroyers replaced the Charles F. Adams class (DDG 2). The Arleigh Burke class was designed with an all-new hull form, incorporating much of the Spruance class (DD 963) destroyer propulsion and machinery plant, and integrated radar, control, and weapon technology proven on the Kidd class (DDG 993) destroyers and installed on the larger Ticonderoga class cruisers.
  • Oceanographic Survey Ships - T-AGS
    Military Sealift Command's (MSC) Special Mission program supports worldwide oceanographic programs with six ships that perform acoustical, biological, physical and geophysical surveys. These ships gather data that provide much of the military's information on the ocean environment. The collected data helps to improve technology in undersea warfare. The oceanographic and hydrographic survey ships' multibeam, wide-angle precision sonar systems make it possible to continuously chart a broad strip of ocean floor. Survey ships have charted three-fourths of the world's coastlines, making it easier for navigators to find their way along both well-traveled and unfamiliar shipping routes.
  • Littoral Combat Ship Class - LCS
    The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is a fast, agile, mission-focused warship designed to operate in near-shore environments to counter 21st-century threats. It is a class of small surface combatants armed with capabilities to defeat challenges in the worlds littorals. LCS can operate independently or in high-threat scenarios as part of a networked battle force that includes larger, multi-mission surface combatants such as cruisers and destroyers.
  • Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF)
    The Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF) is a shallow draft, all aluminum, commercial-based catamaran capable of intra-theater personnel and cargo lift, providing combatant commanders high-speed sealift mobility with inherent cargo handling capability and agility to achieve positional advantage over operational distances.
  • Constellation Class - FFG
    The Constellation-Class Guided-Missile Frigate (FFG 62) represents the Navys next generation small surface combatant.
