First ship with a laser gun

The first USN ship with a laser gun will be an Amphibious Transport Dock, the USS Ponce.

Instead of spending $1.4 million to shoot down drone and speedboat targets, it will spend pennies firing it's laser (to be deployed after October of this year.)

Nuclear powered destroyers with rail guns and lasers soon to follow.

Some details.
