Congress Eyes a Second Flight III Arleigh Burke Destroyer in FY 2027
House authorizers propose $500 million in incremental FY2027 funding to buy a second Flight III Arleigh Burke destroyer, aiming to protect industrial-base workload at Bath Iron Works and Ingalls Shipbuilding while noting a current plan to buy only one destroyer; the panel also approves $1 billion in advance procurement for the BBG(X) battleship program with conditions, and will mark up the bill on June 4.
