April 19 2021 - 5:43PM
Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) announced today that its
Ingalls Shipbuilding division has received a fourth contract
modification from the U.S. Navy for $107 million to provide
long-lead-time material and advance procurement activities for
amphibious assault ship LHA 9. This modification brings the total
advance funding for LHA 9 to $457 million.
“The amphibious warship production line is a critical component
of our nation’s defense industrial base,” Ingalls Shipbuilding
President Kari Wilkinson said. “This funding will strengthen our
suppliers and sustain jobs across the country in support of LHA 9
construction.”
Ingalls is the sole builder of large-deck amphibious ships for
the Navy. The shipyard delivered its first amphibious assault ship,
the Iwo Jima-class USS Tripoli (LPH 10), in 1966.
Ingalls has since built five Tarawa-class (LHA 1) ships,
eight Wasp-class (LHD 1) ships and the first in the new
America class of amphibious assault ships (LHA 6) in 2014. The
second ship in the America class, USS Tripoli (LHA 7),
was delivered to the Navy in early 2020. Bougainville (LHA 8) is
under construction.

shipbuilding company and a provider of professional services to
