During the launch
process, self-propelled modular transporters (SPMT) lifted the ship almost
three feet and moved it approximately 400 feet onto a deck barge moored
adjacent to the final assembly bay. The barge moved the ship downriver where
the ship was placed in a floating dry dock. The EPF was submerged in the dry
dock enabling it to float for the first time, and it was returned back upriver
to Austal USA’s new construction facility. This is the 26th ship launched at
Austal USA using this process.
“The successful launch
of this final Expeditionary Fast Transport is a true reflection of the power of
teamwork and our commitment to applying lessons learned to every aspect of our
work,” said Gene Miller, Austal USA’s interim president. “Our test and
activation teams, crane and rigging crews, and safety personnel worked
seamlessly alongside our Navy partners and trusted vendors like Berard
Transportation, Alabama Shipyard, and E.N. Bisso & Son tug services. These
strong partnerships enable us to continuously refine our processes, identify
areas for improvement, and efficiently achieve critical shipbuilding milestones
to further support and strengthen the maritime industrial base.”
Production efforts on
EPF 16 will shift to final outfitting and system activation to support its
getting underway for sea trials.
