HII Completes Acceptance Trials on Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD 29)
04 Mars 2024 - 2:30PM
HII’s (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division announced today the
successful completion of acceptance trials in the Gulf of Mexico
for amphibious transport dock Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD 29), the
final Flight I transition ship before Ingalls moves into serial
production of the LPD Flight II line.
“We have had a successful trial and it is only through the
efforts of our shipbuilders and our dedicated Navy and industry
partners that we now move solely into the Flight II ships,” Ingalls
Shipbuilding President Kari Wilkinson said. “Our team remains fully
committed to delivering these important assets to the Navy-Marine
Corps team.”
The Ingalls’ Test and Trials team spent several days with the
U.S. Navy’s Board of Inspection and Survey running the ship at full
power and through steering maneuvers. The team will now complete
final finish work on the San Antonio-class ship in preparation for
delivery to the U.S. Navy in weeks ahead.

“Congratulations to our shipbuilders on accomplishing this
milestone and getting the ship ready for delivery,” Ingalls
Shipbuilding Ship Program Manager Davianne Stokes said. “The LPD 29
team has worked very hard to make these sea trials a success, and I
couldn’t be more proud of how they have prevailed.”
Ingalls Shipbuilding has delivered 12 San Antonio-class ships
and currently has three LPDs under construction, including Richard
M. McCool Jr. (LPD 29), the final transition ship; Harrisburg (LPD
30), the first Flight II LPD; and Pittsburgh (LPD 31). Ingalls was
also awarded in March 2023 a modification contract for the
procurement of the detail design and construction of Philadelphia
(LPD 32), the 16th ship in the San Antonio class and the third LPD
Flight II.
San Antonio-class ships can support a variety of amphibious
assault, special operations, or expeditionary warfare missions,
operating independently or as part of Amphibious Readiness Groups
(ARGs), Expeditionary Strike Groups, or joint task forces. These
capabilities allow the U.S. Navy to protect America's security
abroad and promote regional stability and preserve future
peace.
