HII’s Ingalls Shipbuilding Launches Amphibious Assault Ship Bougainville (LHA 8)
2023年10月7日 - 2:00AM
HII’s (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division announced the
successful launch of the Navy’s third America-class amphibious
assault ship Bougainville (LHA 8) from its floating dock into the
Pascagoula River on Saturday.
“This launch is a significant accomplishment for our entire LHA
shipbuilding team, and we are honored to be building such a
versatile ship for our Navy and Marine Corps partners,” Ingalls
Shipbuilding Amphibious Ship Program Manager Gene Miller said. “It
is also a testament to the outstanding teamwork we see every day as
our shipbuilders continue the critical work of preparing
Bougainville for delivery.”
On Sept. 9, Bougainville was translated from land to the
company’s floating dry dock using translation railcars to support
the ship. While in the dry dock, the Ingalls team completed final
prep work for launch.
Bougainville is the first ship in the America class to be built
with a well deck. The ship will retain aviation capabilities 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.

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.
Ingalls has delivered 15 large-deck amphibious ships to the U.S.
Navy. The shipyard delivered the first in the new America
class of amphibious assault ships (LHA 6) in 2014. The second ship
in the America class, USS Tripoli (LHA 7), was
delivered to the Navy in early 2020. In addition to Bougainville,
Fallujah (LHA 9) is also under construction, and the company
authenticated the keel during a ceremony in September 2023.
