HII completes sea trials for amphibious transport dock ship

HII's Ingalls Shipbuilding division has successfully completed builder's sea trials for the Harrisburg (LPD 30), the first Flight II vessel in the San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock program. The multi-day trials evaluated the ship's systems, including propulsion, steering, ship-control systems, communications, mission systems, and combat systems integration.

The vessel returned to the shipyard with all major test objectives met, and is now preparing for acceptance trials and delivery to the U.S. Navy, expected later this year. The ship will serve the Navy and Marine Corps upon delivery.
