DDG 119 moves to restored site

PASCAGOULA, Miss. - Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division moved the destroyer Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) to Pier Four on the east bank of the Pascagoula River on June 5 signifying the reopening of a facility decimated (former Naval Station Pascagoula site) by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The newly reactivated 187-acre site features covered construction areas to improve safety and optimize ship assembly, expansive storage facilities and a fully restored pier where ships will dock upon returning from sea trials. Delbert D. Black and its crew will remain on the east bank until the ship’s sail-away date later this year.
