U.S. Navy Accepts C-130J-30 Super Hercules in Georgia
What happened
The U.S. Navy accepted the first newly manufactured C-130J-30 Super Hercules aircraft from Lockheed Martin in Marietta, Georgia, on October 15. This aircraft will serve as the host platform for the future E-130J Phoenix II, supporting the next-generation “Take Charge and Move Out” mission system. During the ceremony, Roger Davis was presented with a ceremonial key.

Why it matters
The acceptance marks the start of a planned transition away from the legacy E-6B Mercury fleet. The new airframe is designed to provide survivable and secure communications linking the president, the secretary of war, and U.S. Strategic Command.
