2019年2月23日 - 5:00AM
Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (NYSE:HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding
division delivered the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile
destroyer Paul Ignatius (DDG 117) to the U.S. Navy today
with shipbuilders, ship’s force and representatives of Supervisor
of Shipbuilding, Gulf Coast in attendance.
The signing of the DD 250 document officially transfers custody
of the ship from HII to the Navy. Paul Ignatius is scheduled
to sail away from the shipyard in June.
“This event is the culmination of hard work and dedication by
thousands of shipbuilders, industry partners from nearly every
state, as well as our Navy SUPSHIP Gulf Coast shipmates who worked
with us each and every day to ensure DDG 117 became a
mission-capable ship,” said George Nungesser, Ingalls’ DDG program
manager. “Today, we deliver DDG 117 to the U.S. Navy—our 31st time
to do this with an Aegis destroyer and well over our 80th time to
deliver a Navy surface combatant on the banks of the Pascagoula
River. It’s an honor to be a part of this great tradition.”

DDG 117 is named in honor of Paul Ignatius, who served as the
59th Secretary of the Navy, from 1967 to 1969. He made significant
contributions during the administrations of presidents John F.
Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Ignatius is a living namesake and
currently resides in Washington, D.C.
Ingalls has now delivered 31 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers
to the Navy. The shipyard currently has four DDGs under
construction, including Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125), the first Flight
III ship, which started fabrication in May 2018.
Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are capable, multi-mission ships
and can conduct a variety of operations, from peacetime presence
and crisis management to sea control and power projection, all in
support of the United States’ military strategy. The guided missile
destroyers are capable of simultaneously fighting air, surface and
subsurface battles. The ship contains myriad offensive and
defensive weapons designed to support maritime defense needs well
into the 21st century.
