August 01 2023 - 5:30PM
HII’s (NYSE:HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division has been awarded a
fixed-price incentive, multi-year procurement contract for the
construction of six Arleigh Burke-class (DDG 51) destroyers for the
U.S. Navy. The contract includes options for additional DDG 51
ships and for engineering, design, and post-delivery efforts. Due
to potential competitions for the option ships, the cumulative
dollar value of the multi-year contract will not be disclosed at
this time.
“It is a privilege for our shipbuilders to build these ships in
service of our Navy,” said Ingalls Shipbuilding President Kari
Wilkinson. “We look forward to the years of stability that this
award provides and the opportunity to continue working with our
industry partners on this important class of ships.”
Ingalls has delivered 35 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers to the
U.S. Navy including the first Flight III, USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG
125), in June of this year. In addition, Ingalls Shipbuilding has
four Flight IIIs currently under construction including Ted
Stevens (DDG 128), which is set to be christened this month.
Additionally, Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129), George M.
Neal (DDG 131) and Sam Nunn (DDG 133) are also under
construction at Ingalls.

Flight III Arleigh Burke-class destroyers built for the
U.S. Navy incorporate a number of design modifications that
collectively provide significantly enhanced capability. DDG 125
includes the AN/SPY-6(V)1 Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) and
the Aegis Baseline 10 Combat System that is required to keep pace
with the threats well into the 21st century. Arleigh Burke-class
destroyers are highly capable, multi-mission ships and can conduct
a variety of operations, from peacetime presence and crisis
management to sea control and power projection. Guided missile
destroyers are the backbone of the U.S. surface fleet and are
capable of fighting multiple air, surface and subsurface threats
simultaneously.
