USS Delaware Pioneers UUV Deployment The Virginia-class Block III fast-attack submarine, USS Delaware (SSN-791), continues to set new benchmarks in naval warfare technology. Commissioned in April 2022 under unique circumstances, #SSN-791 was the first U.S. Naval warship to be commissioned while submerged due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, #USS Delaware will deploy a torpedo-tube launch-and-recovery (TTL&R) uncrewed underwater vehicle (#UUV) in the European theater, marking the first operational use of this capability. This milestone will see the REMUS 600, known as the "Yellow Moray," enhance mission capabilities, including the defense of critical undersea infrastructure. The REMUS 600, capable of semi-autonomous operation and deep-sea missions, signifies a leap in seabed warfare. With the ability to defend and potentially counter threats to #undersea cables and pipelines, this technology is set to redefine the #strategic landscape of underwater operations. Kudos to the innovative minds and skilled hands driving this mission forward. The silent service is making waves—literally and figuratively! #NavyInnovation #UnderwaterWarfare #USSDelaware #DefenseTech #SeabedWarfare #UUV #MilitaryInnovation https://lnkd.in/d9BuxChD

CAMRE continues to break down barriers of what is possible in expeditionary #advancedmanufacturing. Processes traditionally constrained to factories such as heat treatment are being pushed to the edge with the help of individuals like the Naval Postgraduate School’s doctoral candidate LCDR Zachary Vrtis, PE, under the supervision of Dr. Emre Gunduz. These actions are vital for the Defense Industrial Base and successfully completing battle damage repair at sea. Well done by the entire team in support of SALVEX with Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA)! #additivemanufacturing #irttw https://lnkd.in/ggBB8kbE

The US's ability to project naval power for global security and defense is critical. We are a maritime nation with our existence dependent upon naval power. Article I, Section 8, Clause 13 of the US Constitution mandates the maintenance of a Navy. We must prioritize rebuilding our naval power, including warships, commercial fleets, yard capacity, and a robust shipbuilding workforce. Our sovereignty relies on a well-equipped and trained navy. https://lnkd.in/eQMykd5x.
