Last of new class of Navy warships departs shipyard

BATH, Maine (AP) — The last of a new class of warships has departed a Maine shipyard. The USS Lyndon B. Johnson was constructed at Bath Iron Works and departed Wednesday. It is the last in a class of three ships the U.S. Navy has described as the largest and most technologically sophisticated destroyers in its history. The ship previously left for sea trials 113 years to the day after Johnson was born. It was christened in 2019.
