HII Begins Fabrication of Amphibious Assault Ship Fallujah (LHA 9)
2022年12月21日 - 3:00AM
HII’s (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division started fabrication
of the U.S. Navy’s newest amphibious assault ship Fallujah (LHA 9)
on Monday. The start of fabrication signifies that the first 100
tons of steel have been cut for the ship and that the shipyard is
ready to move forward with the construction of the ship.
“Our shipbuilders are proud of the work they do for the security
of our nation and for our Navy and Marine Corps customers,” said
Eugene Miller, Ingalls Shipbuilding LHA program manager. “The start
of fabrication on Fallujah is a significant milestone in the
construction of this large-deck amphibious ship and demonstrates
our ability to maintain a sustained LHA production line at
Ingalls.”
For nearly 50 years, Ingalls has built large-deck amphibious
assault ships and is the sole shipbuilder for amphibious ships.
Ingalls has delivered 15 large-deck ships, including the
Tarawa-class, LHA 1-5; the Wasp-class, LHD 1-8; and most recently
the America-class, LHA 6 and LHA 7. The third of the America class,
Bougainville (LHA 8), is currently under construction.
The America class is a multi-functional and versatile ship
that is capable of operating in a high density, multi-threat
environment as an integral member of an expeditionary strike group,
an amphibious task force or an amphibious ready group.

In October, Ingalls was awarded the $2.4 billion U.S. Navy
fixed-price-incentive contract for the detail design and
construction of Fallujah. Similar to Bougainville, Fallujah
will retain the aviation capability of the America-class
design while adding the surface assault capability of a well deck
and a larger flight deck configured for F-35B Joint Strike Fighter
and MV-22 Osprey aircraft. These large-deck amphibious assault
ships also include top-of-the-line medical facilities with full
operating suites and triage capabilities.
