I've served on 3 89 ships, one was a V4, a V10 and currently an A(V)15 and I've never seen a dome like this. Is it the new dual frequency SONAR for DDG-1000?

SQQ-89 I assume?
Sonar
A dual-band sonar controlled by a highly automated computer system will be used to detect mines and submarines. It is claimed that it is superior to the Burke's sonar in littoral ASW, but less effective in blue water/deep sea areas.[54]
Hull-mounted mid-frequency sonar (AN/SQS-60)
Hull-mounted high-frequency sonar (AN/SQS-61)
Multi-function towed array sonar and handling system (AN/SQR-20)[55]
