Both ships have emerged recently from mtce periods with the SPY-1 panels still in place.
The Navy wants to test all the other upgrades before adding the Spy-6. When these 4 ships have completed all the tests, the program will accelerate with fleet wide upgrades.
I notice that the new AN/SPS-73(V)18 Next Generation Surface Search Radar (NGSSR) has been installed along with the SEWIP Block 1B3 High Gain High Sense (HGHS) antenna above it on the mast. Also, the SPQ-9B is gone. The SPS-73(V)18 replaces it and several other radars.

For those interested, here is a list of most of the yard work for the 2.0 upgrade program.
DDG 51 2.0

Thank you very much for the list of the ships!
Is it somehow possible to see, if that is a full DDG 2.0 update including SPY-6 or only the SEWIP III modernisation including the cheecks?
