PASCAGOULA, Miss. - Huntington Ingalls Industries announced that the company's sixth amphibious transport dock, San Diego (LPD 22), successfully completed its Navy acceptance trial this week. The ship returned to Ingalls Shipbuilding Thursday after a two-day sea trial. With the Navy’s Board of Inspection and Survey observing, Ingalls' test and trials team tested the ship's main propulsion, steering, communications suite and deck missions systems. Many tests, including anchor handling, ballasting/de-ballasting the well deck and ventilation systems were performed while at sea. Shipbuilders will spend the next month putting the final touches on LPD 22 before the amphibious transport dock ship delivers in mid-December. (Source:
