伯克级第1批次完成了数十项中期升级使之具备与新舰类似的战力，因此其服役期从30年延长到35年。

Arleigh Burke’s life extension will be conducted under a DDG modernization program, providing a “comprehensive” mid-life upgrade for the destroyers.

The class-wide revamp ensures the vessels have the latest terminal defense and long-range weapons.

Around 37 upgrades have already been completed or are in progress under the effort, while 17 additional modernizations are planned in the coming years.

“The modernization changes are also being introduced to new construction ships to increase the baseline capabilities of the newest ships in the class, and to provide commonality between new construction ships and modernized in-service ships,” the US Navy said.

“The goal of the DDG modernization effort is to increase warfighting capabilities and drive commonality, which enable these ships to remain relevant, to their service life, against current and future threats.”

: 你猜为什么它要延长伯克舰退役时间了？你猜它为什么正在商量要在日韩或印度搞个修船造船基地缓解它排着长队的修船队伍了？不过也对，你高兴就好。
