HII Begins Fabrication of Destroyer Thad Cochran (DDG 135)
16 Novembro 2023 - 12:30PM
HII’s (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division started fabrication
of the U.S. Navy’s newest Arleigh Burke-class (DDG 51) destroyer
Thad Cochran (DDG 135) on Monday. The start of fabrication
signifies that the shipyard is ready to move forward with the
construction of the ship and that the first 100 tons of steel have
been cut.
“Our shipbuilders are proud to begin construction on the newest
Flight III destroyer,” Ingalls Shipbuilding DDG Program Manager Ben
Barnett said. “We will continue to work with our Navy and industry
partners to provide our military with the most capable and
survivable ships.”
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.

On June 27, Ingalls delivered the first Flight III Arleigh
Burke-class guided missile destroyer, Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125), to
the Navy as part of the transition to Flight III destroyers. With
the addition of Thad Cochran, Ingalls now has five Flight III
destroyers under construction including Ted Stevens (DDG 128),
Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129), George M. Neal (DDG 131) and Sam Nunn
(DDG 133). In addition, all remaining fiscal year 2018 multi-year
procurement ships and the first two of the recently awarded fiscal
year 2023 ships are in early pre-planning and material procurement
phases.
Flight III Arleigh Burke-class destroyers incorporate a number
of design modifications that collectively provide significantly
enhanced capability including the AN/SPY-6(V)1 Air and Missile
Defense Radar (AMDR) and the Aegis Baseline 10 Combat System that
are designed to keep pace with the threats well into the 21st
century.
