HII Completes Builder’s Trials On Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD 29)
01 Februar 2024 - 8:30PM
HII’s (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division announced today the
successful completion of builder’s sea trials for the amphibious
transport dock ship Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD 29). The San
Antonio-class ship spent time in the Gulf of Mexico testing all
systems in preparation for the remaining events that will occur
prior to delivery of the ship, expected to occur in the spring.
“Our shipbuilders have worked hard to get LPD 29 to sea,”
Ingalls Shipbuilding Ship Program Manager Davianne Stokes said. “We
are absolutely dedicated to get this important asset into the hands
of our Navy and Marine Corps partners.”
Ingalls Shipbuilding has delivered 12 San Antonio-class ships
and currently has three LPDs under construction,
including Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD
29); Harrisburg (LPD 30), the first Flight II LPD;
and Pittsburgh (LPD 31). LPD Flight II is the next
generation amphibious ship to replace Whidbey Island (LSD
41) and Harpers Ferry (LSD 49) classes of dock landing
ships.

In March 2023, Ingalls received a $1.3 billion modification to a
previously awarded contract from the U.S. Navy for the procurement
of the detail design and construction of LPD 32, named
Philadelphia, the 16th ship in the San Antonio class and the third
LPD Flight II.
Amphibious transport dock ships are a major part of the Navy’s
21st century expeditionary force, deployed with a U.S. Marine
Corps Air-Ground Task Force for amphibious and expeditionary crisis
response operations that range from deterrence and joint-force
enablement to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
