August 29 2023 - 6:30PM
HII’s (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division was awarded a
$154.8 million contract modification today for the modernization
of USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000).
“It is an honor to serve the sailors of Zumwalt and to welcome
them to our community,” said Ingalls Shipbuilding DDG 1000 ship
construction manager Bruce Knowles. “The Ingalls team is ready to
support you in completing this important work.”
USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) arrived in Pascagoula on Aug. 19 after
leaving San Diego earlier in the month. The ship will enter a
modernization period and receive technology upgrades including the
integration of the Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) weapon system,
ensuring USS Zumwalt remains one of the most technologically
advanced and lethal ships in the U.S. Navy.
In January 2023, Ingalls was awarded a $10.5 million contract
for the modernization period planning of Zumwalt-class guided
missile destroyers, USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) and USS Michael Monsoor
(DDG 1001). USS Michael Monsoor will receive the CPS install at
Ingalls during a future modernization period. Additionally, Lyndon
B. Johnson (DDG 1002) arrived at Ingalls in January 2022 and
is undergoing a combat systems activation.
