Destroyer Delbert D. Black departed from Huntington Ingalls
Industries’ (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division today,

“Our shipbuilders have done an excellent job throughout the
construction of Delbert D. Black preparing the new Aegis destroyer
to join the Navy’s fleet,” Ingalls Shipbuilding President Brian
Cuccias said. “Today we celebrate the continued monumental
achievements of our shipbuilders with great pride, and we look
forward to continuing to build state-of-the-art Navy destroyers for
years to come.”
Ingalls has delivered 32 destroyers to the Navy and currently
has four more under construction including Frank E. Petersen Jr.
(DDG 121), Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG 123), Jack H. Lucas (DDG
125) and Ted Stevens (DDG 128). In June, Ingalls was awarded a $936
million contract for the construction of an additional Arleigh
Burke-class destroyer.

ships and can conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime
presence and crisis management to sea control and power projection,
all in support of the United States military strategy. Guided
missile destroyers are capable of simultaneously fighting air,
surface and subsurface battles. The ship contains myriad offensive
and defensive weapons designed to support maritime defense needs
well into the 21st century.
