Naval Station Everett Future Homeport for New Constellation Class Frigates​

02 June 2021

EVERETT, Wash. - Naval Station Everett was designated as the Navy's future homeport for the initial ships of the next generation of guided missile frigates, a new and improved class of small surface combatant ships.
As an important homeport for Navy ships, Naval Station Everett will continue to support the fleet, its service members, and their families.

Everett will serve as the homeport for 12 Constellation-class Frigates, with a future Navy homeport decision planned for the following ships.

The Navy’s homeporting plan will ensure forces are optimally postured to support national security.

The new Constellation-class frigates will be built with improved capability to support the National Defense Strategy goal of achieving a resilient and agile force more quickly and affordably.

This new class of frigate are designed to be agile, multi-mission warships, capable of operations in both blue-water and littoral environments, within a strike group or independently, to provide increased combat-credible forward presence.

Specifically, Constellation-class frigates will include an Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR), Baseline Ten (BL10) AEGIS Combat System, Mk 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS), enhanced C4ISR capabilities, MK 110 57mm Gun, countermeasures, and added design flexibility for future growth.

Last year the Navy awarded a contract to build the first new frigate, the USS Constellation (FFG 62), scheduled to be delivered in 2026.

The previous Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates entered service between 1977 and 1989. They were decommissioned between 1994 and 2015. The last Everett homeported frigate, USS Rodney M. Davis, was decommissioned in 2015.

The Navy’s Surface Force is the preeminent means available for our nation to protect its interests and sustain its prosperity around the globe. The Navy remains focused on building and deploying combat ready, battle-minded teams capable of carrying out their missions today and tomorrow, at home and abroad. Constellation-class frigates will help us do that and enable us to maintain our advantage at sea.

As a shore installation, Naval Station Everett supports the Fleet so that active and reserve military are ready to operate in the interest of national defense. The Navy plans to increase capabilities across the enterprise. For shore installations, that includes improvements that offer greater capacity for support to a growing number of Navy ships in the Fleet.

Day 3 at Sea Air Space 2021, the Navy League's maritime exposition held in National Harbor near Washington DC. In this video, Washington-based naval expert Chris Cavas interviews David Portner on the Very Light Weight Torpedo (VLWT). Northrop Grumman was showcasing an actual prototype of the VLWT for the first time in public. In May 2020, Northrop Grumman successfully manufactured and tested the first industry-built VLWT for the U.S. Navy.

Applying its engineering and manufacturing expertise, Northrop Grumman improved upon the VLWT baseline design to replace high-cost components and drive overall affordability, reproducibility and reliability. This torpedo is the first man-portable torpedo built by Northrop Grumman. If it is placed in the same water as the target, the VLWT will search, detect and engage with more maneuverability and anti-torpedo capability than its larger counterparts.

Its small size effectively adds magazine depth to a submarine allowing it to defend itself efficiently from a single threat to an entire swarm. Additionally, its size allows it to be deployed from airplanes or even from a helicopter – making it possible to deploy the VLWT directly above an enemy submarine. This is a tremendous advantage for the warfighter, making it almost impossible for the submarine to evade a hit.

Aug. 25 (UPI) -- The USS Oklahoma City has returned to the U.S. Naval Base Guam following the submarine's participation in a large military exercise, the Navy announced.


The U.S. Navy's Submarine Squadron 15 announced on Facebook Tuesday that the Los Angeles-class submarine made its return after a scheduled deployment on Aug. 20.

During the deployment, the ship conducted surveillance, training and other missions in support of the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations.


The deployment of the USS Oklahoma City was part of the U.S. Navy's Large Scale Exercise 2021, which began earlier this month.

The exercise includes multiple fleets and is intended to boost preparation for possible battle problems and scenarios while improving synchronization of maritime operations, according to the Navy.


The U.S. 3rd Fleet moved its headquarters from San Diego to tents in Hawaii to serve as headquarters for the exercise, which fleet Commander Vice Adm. Steve Koehler described as an unprecedented maritime training event.


While on deployment, the USS Oklahoma City also participated in the Freedom Banner exercise, the Navy said on Twitter.
