Huntington Ingalls Industries Authenticates Keel of National Security Cutter Calhoun (WMSL 759)
2021年7月24日 - 4:30AM
Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding
division ceremonially authenticated the keel of Legend-class
national security cutter Calhoun (WMSL 759) today.
The keel authentication, initially planned for 2020, was
postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This is a very special keel authentication ceremony for a
multitude of reasons,” said George Nungesser, Ingalls’ vice
president of program management. “While we were able to work
steadily and safely though the pandemic, visitation to the shipyard
made commemorating major shipbuilding milestones a challenge. We
are proud to be able to celebrate our talented shipbuilders and
their successes today during this ceremonial keel laying.”
Calhoun recently reached the halfway point of its construction.
Ingalls is the builder-of-record for the Legend-class NSC program
and has delivered nine national security cutters with two more
under construction.

NSC 10 is named for Charles L. Calhoun, the first master chief
petty officer of the Coast Guard. He served in the U.S. Navy for
three years during World War II and was honorably discharged as a
torpedoman second class in February 1946. Seven months later, he
enlisted in the Coast Guard and held various leadership positions
over the course of 14 years. He served as master chief petty
officer of the Coast Guard from Aug. 27, 1969 until Aug. 1,
1973.
The sponsor of NSC 10 is Christina Calhoun Zubowicz, the
granddaughter of Charles L. Calhoun.
“I want to thank the entire United States Coast Guard for this
opportunity and recognize their fervent efforts in protecting
America's economic, national and border security,” Zubowicz said.
“May abundant divine protection, luck and blessings surround the
ship: and the men and women - the shipbuilders, in crafting the new
innovative national security cutter, Calhoun.”
The Legend-class NSC is the most technologically advanced
ship in the Coast Guard’s fleet, which enables it to meet the high
demands required for maritime and homeland security, law
enforcement, marine safety, environmental protection and national
defense missions. NSCs are 418 feet long with a top speed of 28
knots, a range of 12,000 miles, an endurance of 60 days and a crew
of 120.
