USS Richard J. Danzig (DDG-143) is a planned Flight III Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer of the United States Navy, the 93rd overall of the class. She is named for former Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig.
Design and Construction
As a Flight III Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, Richard Danzig would be mounted with the more powerful AN/SPY-6 radar compared to her sister mates. This radar, and other modifications, would allow Flight III destroyers to serve as a replacement for the air-defense roles of Ticonderoga-class cruisers.
She was ordered in 2023 as part of a larger 5-year plan to build 9 Flight III ships, and is expected to begin fabrication in 2027.
In 2024, she was named for former Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig as he was a "visionary leader in the mold of the greatest naval leaders that came before [him]".
