Super Trials test the ship's many systems in a single trial, saving money for the company and the U.S. Navy.

Northrop Grumman Corporation's (Aegis guided missile destroyer Dewey (DDG 105) successfully completed her combined super trial last week in the Gulf of Mexico. The successful sea trial paved the way for delivery to the Navy later this summer. The destroyer is being built by the company at its Gulf Coast facilities in Pascagoula, Miss. "This super trial represents another cost savings initiative developed in partnership with the U.S. Navy. Combining builder's and acceptance trials into one three-day event eliminates significant cost from the delivery process," said Irwin F. Edenzon, sector vice president and general manager, Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding - Gulf Coast.
"I'm not only proud of our shipbuilders who built Dewey, but also our test and trials team that worked with the Navy throughout the trials process. Their focus on excellence allowed us to complete this trial successfully as we continue to prepare for delivering our 26th Aegis destroyer to the Navy."
