This afternoon, BIW proudly delivered the future USS John Basilone (DDG 122) to the Navy. President Chuck Krugh stated: “Delivery brings DDG 122 one step closer to joining the Navy fleet, where it can fulfill its role protecting our country and our families. Our shipbuilders have put their heart and soul into completing this ship and have set a new standard of quality. Bath Built is truly Best Built.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/ejPFG-_u

Fifty of the shipyard’s most senior employees had an opportunity last Friday to join the future USS John Basilone (DDG 122) on a one-day sea trial. For most of them it was their first chance taking to sea one of the ships they have helped build since BIW started building Arleigh Burkes. The Delta Trial was only to calibrate certain equipment, so the number of people needed was less than a typical trial. “Every employee that I have ever talked to that went on a sea trial has remarked how powerful the experience was for them,” said Dave Clark, Vice President, Operations. “We never have room beyond the necessary riders, so when this unexpected event presented itself, I immediately thought of all those people that have hoped for an opportunity for something like this.” #BathBuiltbestBuilt #DDG122 #USSJohnBasilone #BathIronWorks #GDBIW

Did you know? 💭 During World War II, 2,710 Liberty ships were built, 236 of which were constructed in the yard we operated in South Portland, Maine, at the time. Only two Liberty ships remain afloat today – SS John W. Brown in Baltimore (where it was built) and SS Jeremiah O’Brien in San Francisco. SS Jeremiah O’Brien launched in South Portland, Maine, in 1943 and participated in the Normandy landings 80 years ago. The ship returned to the beaches 15 times in the following months to keep allied armies well-supplied. Liberty ships, being the primary U.S. cargo ships of WWII, played an instrumental role in our victory. #BathIronWorks #GDBIW #FastFact

Happy Independence Day! We were thrilled to be a part of the 50th Annual Bath Heritage Days Parade this morning, revamping a classic float from decades past and joined by Shipbuilder 1, our training trailer. Thanks to all our shipbuilders who pulled together our parade float and to those who joined President Chuck Krugh and the senior leadership team in the parade. We had a blast! Enjoy the day and stay safe spending time with your loved ones. 🗽 #IndependenceDay #HeritageDaysParade #BathIronWorks #BIW #July4th #4thofJuly
