As the IRGC’s smart mines and mosquito fleets grow more aggressive, the task of holding the line falls to the most advanced destroyer in the world: the USS Jack H. Lucas. This is the first ship to carry Aegis Baseline Ten, a massive leap in naval computing power. While older systems could struggle with ‘cluttered’ environments like the narrow Strait of Hormuz, Baseline Ten can track thousands of targets simultaneously, from stealthy drones in the air to fast-moving suicide boats on the surface. Integrated with the SPY-six radar, the Lucas acts as the command hub for the entire ‘Neutral Corridor.’ It doesn’t just defend itself; it provides a ‘Cooperative Engagement’ umbrella that allows every Allied ship in the vicinity to see through the IRGC’s electronic jamming. In the high-stakes game of Operation Southern Spear, this digital shield is the only reason global shipping hasn’t come to a total standstill.
