Separately, Ingalls Shipbuilding delivered the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer Delbert D Black (DDG 119) to the US Navy. It is scheduled to sail away from the shipyard in August.

Cuccias added: “Our workforce plays a critical role in protecting those who serve our nation. We continue to fulfil our mission as shipbuilders by building highly capable warships that meet and exceed the needs of our military partners.”

The shipyard currently has four more DDGs under construction. They are Frank E Petersen Jr (DDG 121), Lenah H Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG 123), Jack H Lucas (DDG 125), and Ted Stevens (DDG 128).

Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are highly capable, multi-mission ships and can conduct a diverse range of operations, from peacetime presence and crisis management to sea control and power projection.

DDG 119 is the first ship named in honour of navy veteran Delbert D Black. The navy personnel served aboard USS Maryland during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
