US Navy to Procure BBG(X) and FF(X) Ships to Enhance Surface Force Structure
The US Navy plans to procure BBG(X) battleships and FF(X) frigates to strengthen its surface force capabilities and global presence. The new ships will complement existing Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and uncrewed vessels. The FF(X) will utilize the National Security Cutter design for rapid deployment, while the BBG(X) aims to deliver a 25-40% increase in firepower. These initiatives align with the National Security Strategy's focus on adapting naval forces to counter global threats, including those from China and Russia.
