HII Completes Dry Dock Work for Aircraft Carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Refueling and Complex Overhaul
2024年4月9日 - 3:00AM
HII’s (NYSE: HII) Newport News Shipbuilding division has
completed the dry dock portion of the refueling and complex
overhaul (RCOH) of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C.
Stennis (CVN 74).
Following the recent flooding of more than 100 million gallons
of water into the dry dock, USS John C. Stennis was successfully
moved to an outfitting berth at the shipyard, where the remainder
of the RCOH work and testing will be completed.
“Witnessing Stennis leave the dry dock and return to the water
is a testament to the hard work of our shipbuilders, the crew and
our government partners,” said Rob Check, NNS vice president of
in-service aircraft carrier programs. “We remain laser focused on
the work ahead during this RCOH period and look forward to
preparing this mighty aircraft carrier for the next half of its
operational life.”

During the dry dock phase of the RCOH, USS John C. Stennis
received significant upgrades and began an extensive overhaul
process, both inside and outside the ship. In addition to defueling
and refueling its power plant, NNS shipbuilders preserved tanks and
replaced thousands of valves, pumps and piping components. On the
outside, they performed major structural updates to the island,
mast and antenna tower; upgraded all aircraft launch and recovery
equipment; painted the ship’s hull, including sea chests and
freeboard; restored the propeller shafts; and installed refurbished
propellers and rudders.
During the next phase of RCOH, shipbuilders will complete the
overhaul and installation of the ship’s major components and test
its electronics, combat and propulsion systems. This period will
also focus on improving the ship’s living areas, including crew
living spaces, galleys and mess decks.
“Our focus remains steadfast to get our ship back into the fight
and to foster the professional and personal development of our
sailors,” said Capt. J. Patrick Thompson III, the ship’s commanding
officer. “We look forward to continue working with our industry
partners to complete remaining production and test work and
redeliver Stennis back to the fleet.”
USS John C. Stennis is the seventh Nimitz-class aircraft to
undergo its RCOH — the mid-life refueling overhaul and maintenance
availability that produces a recapitalized carrier capable of
supporting current and future Navy requirements. Once the RCOH is
complete, USS John C. Stennis will be equipped to operate in the
fleet for the second half of her 50-year expected service life.
