June 18 2018 - 4:45PM
Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (NYSE:HII) Newport News Shipbuilding
division has begun scheduled overhaul work on the nuclear-powered
submarine USS Boise (SSN 764).
The Los Angeles-class submarine arrived at Newport News on
Monday and will undergo planned maintenance and repair activities
pierside before it will be moved to a dry dock in January 2019. The
extended engineering overhaul, which includes system upgrades, will
take 25 months and is expected to be completed in 2021.
“Submarine fleet support work represents a significant increase
in our workload and provides a critical balance for public and
private shipyards,” said Bill Smith, Newport News’ vice president
of fleet support programs. “We have been preparing for Boise’s
availability and looking forward to returning the submarine back to
the fleet.”
Newport News laid USS Boise’s keel in August 1988, and the
submarine was delivered to the U.S. Navy in September 1992.
