Four US Navy ships are headed to Bahrain next year as part of a new mine countermeasures force in the Middle East. Our AN/AQS-20 mine-hunting sonar system will aid the force aboard USS Canberra, the first littoral combat ship to be equipped with a mine countermeasures mission package.

Quite impressive feat of engineering: https://youtu.be/ZGoUKeMsFC4 Man I wish we were developing stuff like this in Europe as well. This is military technology that solely saves lives.
Awesome ships! You can see how technologically advanced they are!
These are some capability upgrades the 5th fleet MCM fleet has been looking forward to receiving.
So glad to have been a part of the Raytheon team that developed the AN/AQS-20 sonar. Hearty congratulations to the current engineering team's accomplishment in delivering the operational system to the U.S. Navy's Fleet!
Great progress, I look back fondly on my MCM days with the squeaky 32 and slick 48!
Great, sea-borne tool for peace. Keep on, Dan! Been a while so keep in touch. Avanti!

1moLove this and the fact that a US ship is named after Australia's capital, "Canberra". A visible indication of the close cooperation between the US and Australia.
