HII Marks Milestone in Virginia-Class Submarine Massachusetts (SSN 798) Construction
10 August 2022 - 5:00PM
All-domain defense and technologies partner HII (NYSE: HII) shared
today that it’s Newport News Shipbuilding division has achieved a
significant milestone in construction of Virginia-class submarine
Massachusetts (SSN 798).
Shipbuilders working on Massachusetts recently reached pressure
hull complete, meaning that all of the hull sections were joined to
form a single, watertight unit. This is the last major construction
milestone before the submarine is launched.
“Our highly skilled shipbuilders are driven to serve the nation
by delivering great submarines that help ensure America’s undersea
superiority,” said Jason Ward, Newport News Shipbuilding vice
president of Virginia-class submarine construction. “Reaching this
point in construction demonstrates our commitment to getting
Massachusetts ready as soon as possible to become part of the U.S.
Navy fleet.”
Newport News Shipbuilding is one of only two shipyards capable
of designing and building nuclear-powered submarines. The advanced
capabilities of Virginia-class submarines increase firepower,
maneuverability and stealth.

This milestone on Massachusetts comes following the delivery of
USS Montana (SSN 794) and launch of New Jersey (SSN 796) at Newport
News Shipbuilding earlier in 2022, as the shipyard continues to
invest in its workforce and facilities to make steady progress on
delivering these important assets to the Navy.
Massachusetts is the 25th Virginia-class fast attack
submarine.
