HII Secures Significant Contract for Amphibious Ships
In a groundbreaking announcement, HII has confirmed that its Ingalls Shipbuilding division has entered into a substantial $9.6 billion multi-ship procurement contract. This deal marks a pivotal expansion in the U.S. Navy's amphibious capabilities and includes the construction of three new San Antonio-class (LPD 17) amphibious ships, alongside a modification for the next America-class (LHA 6) large-deck amphibious ship.
Details of the Multi-Ship Procurement
This unprecedented contract, recognized as the first of its kind specifically for amphibious ship procurement, opens the door to the construction of LPDs 33, 34, 35, and LHA 10. Ingalls Shipbuilding President Kari Wilkinson expressed gratitude for the stability provided by this contract, emphasizing its importance for both the shipbuilders and local communities.
Commitment to Naval Forces
Wilkinson shared her insights into the labor force, stating that nearly half of Ingalls' shipbuilders are presently involved in building amphibious vessels. The company collaborates with around 650 supplier partners distributed across 39 states, ensuring that various components are readily available to support this significant construction project.
Strengthening the Shipbuilding Workforce
Ingalls is eager to enhance its workforce by welcoming both experienced and new shipbuilders. Wilkinson added, "We stand ready to reinforce an already strong team of capable shipbuilders with the ideas and skills of new shipbuilders that want to make a difference in the world." This hiring initiative underscores HII's commitment to supporting the U.S. military's operational requirements.
An Established History of Naval Shipbuilding
HII has a rich history in shipbuilding, having successfully delivered 13 San Antonio-class ships and 15 large-deck amphibious ships to the U.S. Navy. Currently, Ingalls is actively working on the LHA production line, which includes the construction of Bougainville (LHA 8) and Fallujah (LHA 9). Additionally, two Flight II LPDs, Harrisburg (LPD 30) and Pittsburgh (LPD 31), are also under construction.
In March 2023, Ingalls secured a modification to construct the detail design and construction of Philadelphia (LPD 32), marking the 16th ship in the San Antonio class. These initiatives demonstrate HII's ongoing dedication to advancing the capabilities of the U.S. Navy.
