Under the depot maintenance period (DMP) contract awarded, BAE
Systems’ Norfolk shipyard will dry-dock the ship, perform
underwater hull preservation work, upgrade the ship’s Aegis combat
system and command and control equipment, and refurbish the living
spaces for the ship’s 325 crewmembers. The work is expected to
begin in July.
“The depot maintenance periods are necessarily complex and
critical to maintain the combat effectiveness of DDGs,” said David
M. Thomas Jr., vice president and general manager of BAE Systems
Norfolk Ship Repair. “BAE Systems Norfolk looks forward to
conducting the assigned DMP work that will enable the USS Nitze to
move into its next phase of fleet readiness.”
BAE Systems recently began DMP work aboard the USS Lassen (DDG
88) in its Jacksonville, Florida shipyard, and is conducting
similar work aboard the USS Mustin (DDG 89) in its San Diego
shipyard.
USS Nitze is the 44th ship in the Arleigh Burke class and was
commissioned in March 2005. The ship is named in honor of former
Secretary of the Navy and chief U.S. arms control advisor Paul
Nitze (1907-2004).
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, and significant pier space
and ship support services. The company’s Norfolk shipyard has
approximately 950 employees and works with the Navy and several
subcontractor companies to accomplish its ship sustainment
work.
