HII's Ingalls Shipbuilding Completes Builder's Sea Trials for Harrisburg (LPD 30)

HII's Ingalls Shipbuilding division completed builder's sea trials for Harrisburg (LPD 30), the first Flight II ship in the San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock program, the company said in a GlobeNewswire release dated November 3, 2026. The ship returned to the shipyard with major test objectives met and will prepare for acceptance trials and delivery to the U.S. Navy, expected later this year.

Harrisburg Sea Trials and Ingalls Role

During the multi-day trials, Ingalls shipbuilders ran a full suite of tests covering the ship's propulsion, steering, ship-control systems, communications, mission systems and combat systems integration. "This successful sea trials is a critical step toward delivering this ship to the fleet and a testament to the quality of our shipbuilders' work," said Stephen Janowski, Ingalls Shipbuilding amphibious ship program manager. "LPD 30 will provide the Navy and the Marine Corps with enhanced capability for generations, and we are proud to see the ship progressing so strongly toward delivery."

HII is the sole provider of San Antonio-class ships and has delivered LPDs 17 through 29. Three Flight II LPDs are under construction at Ingalls: Harrisburg, Pittsburgh (LPD 31) and Philadelphia (LPD 32). Ingalls is also in the early procurement and planning phase for Travis Manion (LPD 33), LPD 34 and LPD 35. Ingalls Shipbuilding awarded $20,000 in grants to nine local nonprofits across the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast as part of its 2026 Community Partner Grant program, GlobeNewswire reported on October 26, 2026.
