HII Delivers Amphibious Transport Dock Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD 29) to U.S. Navy
April 11 2024 - 6:45PM
HII’s (NYSE:HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division announced today the
delivery of amphibious transport dock Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD
29) to the U.S. Navy.
Richard M. McCool Jr. is the 13th San Antonio-class ship
delivered by Ingalls and is the final Flight I transition ship
before Ingalls moves into production of the LPD Flight II line.
“The LPD 29 delivery demonstrates how our shipbuilders are
enabling our combined Navy and Marine Corps team,” said Kari
Wilkinson, president of Ingalls Shipbuilding. “It is the most
recent example of what U.S. industry and government partnerships
can accomplish by putting another player on the field. We will now
bring the full weight of this collaborative team to bear on
steady-state Flight II execution going forward.”
Ingalls has two Flight II LPDs under construction including
Harrisburg (LPD 30) and Pittsburgh (LPD 31). In March 2023, Ingalls
was awarded a modification to the contract for the procurement of
the detail design and construction of Philadelphia (LPD 32), the
16th ship in the San Antonio class and the third LPD Flight II.

The San Antonio class is foundational to the U.S. Marine Corp’s
Force Design construct and can support a variety of crisis
response, special operations and expeditionary warfare missions.
LPDs can operate independently or as part of amphibious readiness
groups, expeditionary strike groups, or joint task forces. These
capabilities allow the U.S. Navy to protect America's security
abroad and promote regional stability and preserve future
peace.
