HII Awarded $1.3 Billion Contract for the Detail Design & Construction of LPD 32
March 31 2023 - 6:15PM
HII (NYSE: HII) announced today that its Ingalls Shipbuilding
division has received a $1.3 billion modification to a previously
awarded contract from the U.S. Navy for the procurement of the
detail design and construction of amphibious transport dock LPD 32.
The resulting fixed-price-incentive contract totals $1.54 billion.
The ship will be the 16th in the San Antonio class and the third
Flight II LPD.
“Our shipbuilders are dedicated to delivering these ships to our
Navy and Marine Corps partners, having done so for over two
decades,” Ingalls Shipbuilding President Kari Wilkinson said. “This
program is strong and has enabled the Department of Navy and
Ingalls to establish a formidable capability based on a mature
design, an ever-increasingly efficient production line, and a team
of shipbuilders that keep the Navy’s critical industrial base
network across the country strong.”
In June 2022, Ingalls Shipbuilding was awarded a $240 million
advance procurement contract for LPD 32 from the Navy to provide
long-lead-time material and advance construction activities. The
funds from this contract allowed Ingalls to begin purchasing
long-lead time material and major equipment across a supplier
network of nearly 400 companies in 30 states.

Ingalls Shipbuilding is the sole builder of the entire San
Antonio class of ships and currently has three LPDs under
construction, including Richard M. McCool (LPD
29); Harrisburg (LPD 30), the first Flight II LPD; and
Pittsburgh (LPD 31), which began fabrication in September
2022. LPD Flight II is the next generation amphibious ship to
replace Whidbey Island (LSD 41) and Harpers Ferry (LSD 49) classes
of dock landing ships.
Amphibious transport docks are a major part of the Navy’s
21st century expeditionary force, deployed with a U.S. Marine
Corps Air-Ground Task Force for amphibious and expeditionary crisis
response operations that range from deterrence and joint-force
enablement to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
