“Flight III ships will provide cutting edge Integrated Air and Missile Defense capability to include significantly greater detection range and tracking capacity. Launching the first Flight III ship, the future Jack H. Lucas, is another important step to delivering Flight III to the Navy”

Viewers may note that Flight III is the fourth Flight upgrade in the 30+ year history of the class and is preceded by Flight I, II, and IIA.
