HII Launches Amphibious Transport Dock Harrisburg (LPD 30)
08 Oktober 2024 - 6:15PM
HII’s (NYSE:HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division successfully
launched on Saturday the first LPD Flight II, San Antonio-class
amphibious transport dock ship Harrisburg (LPD 30), marking
one of the first major milestones in the ship’s journey towards
operational readiness.
The Ingalls team translated Harrisburg from land to the
company’s floating dry dock using translation railcars to support
the ship’s movement across the pier. While in the dry dock, the
Ingalls team completed final prep work needed for launch.
“We view this launch as a significant step toward fielding
capability to our U.S. Navy and Marine Corps partners, and a
reminder of the importance of supporting national security,” said
Ingalls Shipbuilding President Kari Wilkinson. “As shipbuilders, we
are dedicated to this mission.”

The launch of LPD 30 follows the recent announcement of the
amphibious multi-ship procurement contract for the construction of
three San Antonio-class (LPD 17) amphibious ships [LPD 33-35] and a
contract modification for the next America-class (LHA 6) large-deck
amphibious ship [LHA 10].
Ingalls currently has two Flight II LPDs under construction
including Harrisburg (LPD 30)
and Pittsburgh (LPD 31). Pre-construction activities are
currently underway for the construction
of Philadelphia (LPD 32), the 16th ship in the San
Antonio-class.
