HII Completes Initial Sea Trials of Virginia-Class Submarine New Jersey (SSN 796)
29 Fevereiro 2024 - 3:30PM
HII (NYSE: HII) announced today the successful completion of
initial sea trials for Virginia-class attack submarine New Jersey
(SSN 796) by the company’s Newport News Shipbuilding division. New
Jersey spent several days at sea to test the boat’s systems and
components.
Testing included submerging the submarine for the first time and
conducting high-speed maneuvers while on the surface and submerged.
NNS teams will continue the testing program ahead of delivering the
boat to the U.S. Navy.
“Taking New Jersey out for the first time is a significant
milestone and the first major test of the submarine’s capabilities
at sea,” said Jason Ward, NNS vice president of Virginia-class
submarine construction. “Both New Jersey and her crew performed
exceptionally well. This was truly a team effort between
shipbuilders, thousands of suppliers around the country and the
crew. We look forward to delivering New Jersey to the Navy soon so
it can begin its service to our nation.”
The boat, the 23rd Virginia-class submarine, was christened in
November 2021. New Jersey will be the 11th to be delivered by NNS.
It is the first submarine designed with a modification for gender
integration.
