PASCAGOULA, Miss. -- The amphibious transport dock
Arlington (LPD 24), the eighth built at Huntington Ingalls Industries, recently returned from builder's sea trials in the Gulf of Mexico. Dock trials started last week, and the ship left HII's Ingalls Shipbuilding division on Aug. 21 for three days of at-sea testing. A team tested LPD 24's major operational systems. More than 200 test events took place during the sea trials, including anchor handling, flight operations, ballasting and de-ballasting the well deck, and compartment air balancing. (Source:
