I helped build that ship, and all the LPD 17s before her. She is by far the best yet.

Check out this video from builders trials, her first trials...

Slick you must work over to Grumman. That is a nice ship. My shop did all the friction stir welded aluminum plates for the LHA6 here in Slidell

Naw, I work for the Navy. I'll back and forth between Ingalls and Avondale. I won't be over there much til 23 ramps up. We used to stop in Slidell and hit the daiquiris and company for something to sip on the long ride home....
