Future USS Savannah completes acceptance trials

摘要

The future USS Savannah, an Independence type Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), completed acceptance trials in May 2021. The US Navy conducted comprehensive tests of the Independence-variant littoral combat ship's systems during the trials, spanning multiple functional areas including main propulsion, auxiliaries and electrical systems. LCS 28 also performed a full-power demonstration, steering and quick reversal, anchor drop test and combat system detect-to-engage sequence. Acceptance trials are the last significant milestone before delivery of the ship to the US Navy, which is planned for late June 2021.
