Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE: HII) announced today the
successful completion of acceptance trials aboard the amphibious
assault ship Tripoli (LHA 7). The second ship in
the America class spent three days at sea in the Gulf of
Mexico with the U.S. Navy’s Board of Inspection and Survey
(INSURV), performing vital test procedures that included a full
power run of the main propulsion system.
“The success of these trials is the culmination of the hard work
and determination from our shipbuilders and leadership team. We
have worked closely with our Navy partners to ensure that LHA 7
will provide unparalleled sea basing capabilities for the Navy’s
amphibious ready groups and the Marine Corps Air-Ground Task
Forces,” said Ingalls Shipbuilding President Brian Cuccias.
Ingalls is currently the sole builder of large-deck amphibious
warships for the U.S. Navy. The shipyard delivered its first
amphibious assault ship, the Iwo Jima-class
USS Tripoli (LPH 10), in 1966. Ingalls has since built
five Tarawa-class ships, eight Wasp-class ships and the
first in a new class of ships, USS America (LHA 6). The
third ship in
the America class, Bougainville (LHA 8), is
currently under construction at the shipyard and will be the
16th large-deck amphibious ship built at Ingalls.

“The LHA team at Ingalls is truly unmatched in their dedication
to making these state-of-the-art warships for the Navy,” said
George S. Jones, Ingalls’ vice president of operations. “That
dedication really showed during this trial. Our shipbuilders, test
and trials team and our partners at Supervisor of Shipbuilding,
Gulf Coast take great pride in the work they do every day and I
know they are ready to finish the job strong.”
Like the lead ship in the class, Tripoli is designed for
survivability with increased aviation capacity, including an
enlarged hangar deck, realignment and expansion of the aviation
maintenance facilities, a significant increase in available stowage
for parts and support equipment, and increased aviation fuel
capacity. Similar to its predecessors, the ship will be able to
operate as the flagship for an expeditionary strike group.
Tripoli will be the third ship to bear the name that
commemorates the capture of Derna in 1805 by a small force of
Marines and approximately 370 soldiers from 11 other nations. The
battle, memorialized in the Marines’ Hymn with the line “to the
shores of Tripoli,” brought about a successful conclusion to the
combined operations of the First Barbary War.
