"Huntington Ingalls Industries announced that its Ingalls Shipbuilding division launched the company's 10th amphibious transport dock, John P. Murtha (LPD 26). "This ship is tracking to be one of our best LPDs ever, and it is the most complete ship at launch to date," said Ingalls Shipbuilding President Brian Cuccias. "We are incorporating learning from each ship to improve our performance in both cost and schedule. Our hot production line in LPD construction provides efficiencies in day-to-day work efforts and helps stabilize the program and the associated supplier base." As has been done for all Ingalls-built ships over the past 40 years, shipbuilders moved LPD 26 on rail cars from land to the company's floating drydock on Oct. 19. Work took place last week to prepare the ship for today's launch. "Our shipbuilders are becoming more and more proficient in building these ships, and they are committed to being the best at what they do," said Kari Wilkinson, LPD 26 program manager. "We have a strong build plan in place, and we continue to implement construction improvements across the class to create an affordable platform. It is a blueprint we can follow in future ship classes as well."
