“Ingalls looks forward continuing
our strong
legacy of providing the men and women of our naval forces with the capable and survivable warships they need and
deserve,” said Ingalls
Shipbuilding President Brian Cuccias. “The LPD Flight II builds upon the significant investment that has been made in this platform to improve the capability and flexibility of our deployed Navy-Marine Corps team. LPD 30 will leverage a
hot production line and further benefit from the investments we continue to make in our shipbuilders and facilities. We are honored to be a part of the team that will provide this next- generation platform today.”
LPD 30 is the evolution
of the dock landing platform that strengthens the Navy and Marine Corps’ needs in future warfare. Utilizing the LPD 17 class’ proven hull, this LPD derivative is highly adaptable and, like the first 13 ships in the class, will be used to accomplish a full range of military
operations—from
major combat to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. The
ship’s versatility—from
its well deck, flight deck and hospital facilities to its self-defense and survivability features—provides
a viable
platform for America’s global defense needs.
