Ingalls Shipbuilding Successfully Completes Acceptance Trials for Lenah Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG 123)
07 Oktober 2022 - 9:00PM
HII (NYSE: HII) announced today that its Ingalls Shipbuilding
division completed acceptance trials for Arleigh Burke-class guided
missile destroyer Lenah Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG 123).
“Completing a successful sea trial is always a significant
accomplishment for our combined Ingalls and Navy team, and DDG 123
performed well,” Ingalls Shipbuilding President Kari Wilkinson
said. “We are committed to this partnership and look forward to our
next opportunity to demonstrate it during our next trial events for
our first Flight III destroyer.”
DDG 123 is the second destroyer to be named in honor of Lenah
Sutcliffe Higbee, the first woman to receive the Navy Cross. Higbee
joined the Navy in October 1908 as part of the newly established
Navy Nurse Corps, a group of women who would become known as “The
Sacred Twenty,” and became the second superintendent of the Navy
Nurse Corps in January 1911.
Ingalls has built 33 destroyers for the U.S. Navy, with five
currently under construction including DDG 123, Jack H. Lucas (DDG
125), Ted Stevens (DDG 128), Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129) and George
M. Neal (DDG 131). DDG 123 will be the final Flight IIA destroyer
Ingalls will deliver as the Navy transitions to Flight III
destroyers.

presence and crisis management to sea control and power projection,
all in support of the United States military strategy. Guided
missile destroyers are capable of simultaneously fighting air,
surface and subsurface battles. These ships contain a myriad of
