Aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) arrived at Huntington
Ingalls Industries’ (NYSE:HII) Newport News Shipbuilding division
today to start its refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) after
years of advance planning.
“For the last three years, we have planned each step of the
aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis' (CVN 74) RCOH, including
procuring long lead-time materials, conducting shipboard
inspections and readying our facilities for this extensive
engineering and construction project,” said Todd West, Newport
News’ vice president, in-service aircraft carrier programs.
“We look forward to continuing our work with the ship’s crew and
our 579 vendors across 36 states that provide material and services
which brings stability of this industrial base and is critical to
our ability to continue to build and maintain the Navy fleet our
Navy and nation needs,” West added.

Stennis is the seventh Nimitz-class carrier to undergo this
major mid-life availability, representing 35% of all maintenance
and modernization completed during its 50-year service life. Over
the next four years, Newport News will perform hull and freeboard
blast and paint, repairs to its propellers, sea chests, shafts, and
rudders and defueling and refueling of its power plant.
This effort, which will continue through late 2025, will produce
a recapitalized carrier capable of supporting current and future
warfare doctrine while continuing to operate as the centerpiece of
the Navy fleet and national defense for another 25 years.
