Dienstzeitverlängerung für zwölf Arleigh Burkes des 1. Flights:

Navy Extending Service Lives of 12 Flight I Arleigh Burke Destroyers

Twelve Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers will remain in the fleet past their initial service lives, the Navy announced on Thursday. The life extensions for the Flight I destroyers range from one to five years, depending on the ship, according to a list of the chosen destroyers reviewed by USNI News.

“The decision, based upon a hull-by-hull evaluation of ship material condition, combat capability, technical feasibility and lifecycle maintenance requirements, will result in an additional 48 ship-years of cumulative ship service life in the 2028 to 2035 timeframe,” reads a Thursday news release from the service. “The Navy has proposed DDG service life extension funding in the FY26 budget request, and will update the shipbuilding plan accordingly.”
