CIRCOR Products Used on America’s Most-Advanced Warship
July 12 2017 - 4:45PM
CIRCOR International, Inc. (NYSE:CIR) announced that it has
provided critical flow control components for the aircraft carrier,
Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), which is the newest and most
technologically advanced aircraft carrier design. The ship is
scheduled to be commissioned by the U.S. Navy on July 22, 2017.
Ford’s commissioning marks the accomplishment of years of
construction and design and countless hours of hard work.
Leslie Controls, a CIRCOR brand and part of the Advanced Flow
Solutions Group, and its workforce of 189 dedicated men and women
are proud to be part of the industrial base that supplies products
and services to Newport News Shipbuilding, the builder of the
ship. CIRCOR is one of 18 companies in Florida that provides
products and services for U.S. Navy aircraft carriers.
Rear Admiral Brian Antonio, the Program Executive Officer for
Aircraft Carriers, said, “Over the last several years, thousands of
people have had a hand in delivering Ford to the Navy -- designing,
building and testing the Navy's newest, most capable, most advanced
warship. Without a doubt, we would not be here without the hard
work and dedication of those from the program office, our
engineering teams and those who performed and oversaw construction
of this incredible warship."
“CIRCOR is proud of our heritage in being a flow solutions
provider for over a century to the US NAVY. With the Gerald R. Ford
aircraft carrier, we continue that legacy in ensuring that our Navy
has the highest quality products for their critical flow control
needs,” said Sumit Mehrotra, President of CIRCOR Advanced Flow
Solutions Group.
Last year, the U.S. Navy testified to the Senate Armed Services
Committee’s Seapower Subcommittee about the ship noting, “The
Ford-class design improves war fighting capability, survivability,
operational availability, and quality of life for sailors, while
reducing total billets, including ship’s crew and air wing, by
nearly 1,200 personnel and decreasing total ownership costs by
approximately 4 billion per ship.”
Ford will continue the legacy of air power dominance from the
sea as the cornerstone of U.S. military supremacy around the
globe.
