HII’s Ingalls Shipbuilding division has been awarded a US$154.8 million contract modification for work on USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000).
Zumwalt arrived in Pascagoula on 19 August 2023 after leaving San Diego earlier in the month. The ship will enter a modernisation period and receive technology upgrades including the integration of the Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) weapon system.
In January 2023, Ingalls was awarded a US$10.5 million contract for the modernisation period planning of Zumwalt-class guided-missile destroyers, USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) and USS Michael Monsoor (DDG 1001). USS Michael Monsoor will receive the CPS install at Ingalls during a future modernisation period. Lyndon B Johnson (DDG 1002) arrived at Ingalls in January 2022 and is undergoing a combat systems activation.
