BAE Systems Jacksonville Ship Repair will dry-dock the ship for
seven months under the depot maintenance period (DMP) availability
contract awarded by the Navy. In addition to underwater hull
preservation work, the company’s Florida shipyard will recondition
the ship’s engineering spaces, upgrade its command and control
equipment, and refurbish the crew’s living spaces. The company
expects the DMP work to begin in January 2023 and be completed in
April 2024.
“The modernization work we will perform on the USS Lassen is a
major project for our team and industry partners, and builds upon
our recent DMP work aboard two other ships,” said Tim Spratto, BAE
Systems Jacksonville Ship Repair’s general manager. “Our work will
usher the Lassen into a higher phase of capability in the
fleet.”
BAE Systems’ Jacksonville shipyard is nearing the end of similar
work aboard the guided missile destroyer USS Winston S. Churchill
(DDG 81) and previously completed a DMP availability aboard USS
Roosevelt (DDG 80).
USS Lassen is the 32nd ship of the Arleigh Burke class and was
commissioned in April 2001. The ship is named in honor of Medal of
Honor recipient Clyde Lassen, who was recognized for his actions as
a naval aviator during Vietnam. A previous U.S. Navy ship called
USS Lassen (AE 3) was named after a northern California
volcano.
BAE Systems is a leading provider of ship repair, maintenance,
modernization, conversion, and overhaul services for the Navy,
other government agencies, and select commercial customers. The
company operates three full-service shipyards in California,
Florida, and Virginia, and offers a highly skilled, experienced
workforce, seven dry-docks and railways, significant pier space,
and ship support services. The company’s Jacksonville shipyard has
approximately 660 employees and works with the Navy and several
subcontractor companies to accomplish its ship sustainment
work.
