HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding Delivers First Columbia-class Stern
10 Janeiro 2024 - 2:45PM
HII’s (NYSE: HII) Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) division
announced today delivery of the first Columbia-class ballistic
missile submarine stern to General Dynamics Electric Boat.
The stern for District of Columbia (SSBN 826) was transported by
barge from Newport News to Electric Boat’s facility in Quonset
Point, Rhode Island.
“This is a major milestone in the ramp-up of Columbia-class
module production here at NNS,” said Brandi Smith, NNS vice
president of Columbia-class submarine construction. “Our
shipbuilders have worked with pride to accomplish this milestone,
and we look forward to continuing our commitment to this important
national security program.”
NNS is a major shipbuilding partner in the Columbia-class
program, constructing and delivering six module sections per
submarine under contract to Electric Boat.
The Navy has designated the Columbia class its top acquisition
priority. Ultimately, the Columbia class will replace the fleet of
Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines, and take over the role of
the nation’s sea-based strategic deterrent, providing the most
survivable leg of the nation’s strategic triad.
