USS Jack H. Lucas - DDG 125

10/02/2026

From flight quarters and damage control drills to weapons training and swim calls, the Sailors of the USS JACK H. LUCAS continue to train, operate, and strengthen the teamwork that keeps our ship ready.

In August, JACK H. LUCAS participated in PACIFIC DRAGON, operating alongside six partner nations to strengthen interoperability and build enduring partnerships in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific. Through divisional tactics, air warfare exercises, ship handling events, and ballistic missile defense training, our crew enhanced the skills required to operate effectively with allies and partners across the maritime domain.

The crew also sharpened tactical proficiency during a gun shoot—successfully eliminating some “killer tomatoes”—and conducted swim calls off the coasts of Maui, Lānaʻi, and Kahoʻolawe. Damage control drills reinforced our skills, coordination, and readiness needed to respond when it matters most.
Stand by for more updates as JACK H. LUCAS continues an active schedule for the remainder of the year.
