June 30 2023 - 1:30PM
HII’s (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division announced today the
successful completion of builder’s sea trials for the U.S. Coast
Guard‘s newest national security cutter, Calhoun (WMSL 759). The
ship successfully tested propulsion and auxiliary equipment, as
well as various ship systems.
“Every successful sea trial is a major accomplishment for our
shipbuilders, and the NSC team has worked hard to ensure the Coast
Guard receives another highly capable and advanced cutter for the
fleet,” Ingalls Shipbuilding NSC Program Manager Amanda Whitaker
said. “Our team will continue to prepare NSC 10 for the next set of
trials and ensure that this ship will be ready to undertake the
most challenging Coast Guard missions.”
For over two decades, Ingalls Shipbuilding has served as the
sole designer and provider of the Coast Guard Legend-class national
security cutter. The flagship of the Coast Guard fleet, national
security cutters are capable of embarking and supporting a wide
range of Coast Guard, Navy and NATO manned and unmanned aircraft.
National security cutters have proven to be ideal platforms for
drug interdiction, global illegal fishing, disaster relief and
defense support operations.

NSC 10 is named to honor Charles L. Calhoun, the first Master
Chief Petty Officer of the U.S. Coast Guard. Calhoun served in the
U.S. Navy for three years during World War II and was honorably
discharged in 1946 as a torpedoman second class. He enlisted in the
Coast Guard that same year and held varying positions of leadership
over the course of his career.
Ingalls has delivered nine Legend-class national security
cutters to the Coast Guard further enabling their important
missions around the globe.
