The US Navy will procure BBG(X) battleships and FF(X) frigates to enhance its surface force structure. The BBG(X) will replace older classes and is expected to provide a firepower increase of 25-40% compared to Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.

The FF(X) will be based on the National Security Cutter design and aims for rapid deployment with modular force packages. These ships will support the US Navy's National Security Strategy, addressing threats from China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. The FF(X) is designed for flexibility in response to diverse global challenges.
