Zitat:U.S. Pacific Fleet Establishes USV Divisionhttps://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...-division/
Commander, Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet (CNSP) established Unmanned Surface Vessel Division (USVDIV) One during a ceremony, May 13, which also included a change of command ceremony for Surface Development Squadron (SURFDEVRON) One. [...] “To meet the challenges of the 21st Century, we must continue to innovate the surface force. USVDIV One will accelerate the delivery of credible and reliable unmanned systems in conjunction with increasingly capable manned platforms into the fleet.” (Cmdr. Jeremiah Daley, Commander of USVDIV One)
USVDIV One will oversee medium and large unmanned surface vessels including the Sea Hunter and its sister vessel, the Sea Hawk. [...] Capt. Shea Thompson relieved Capt. Jeffrey Heames as commodore of SURFDEVRON One. “It’s been an honor and privilege to lead a team of surface warriors who are shaping the future of our force,” said Heames. [...] Heames was SURFDEVRON One’s second commodore. Previously, he commanded USS Preble (DDG 88) and served as the Commodore for Destroyer Squadron 23.
SURFDEVRON One is responsible for the maintenance, training, and manning oversight for medium and large USVs, Zumwalt-class guided-missile destroyers, and the future USS Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG 1002).
