Northrop Grumman, Navy Christen Amphibious Transport Dock Ship San Diego

Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC) saw the christening of the sixth LPD 17 class amphibious transport dock ship San Diego (LPD 22) at a ceremony in Pascagoula, Miss.

“Since 1775 when the Continental Congress created the Navy and the Marine Corps, sailors and Marines have gone to sea in ships to defend our great nation, ” said Gen. James F. Amos, assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, who delivered the ceremony’s principal address. “As America grew in power, our ships grew bigger and more sophisticated. The San Diego is no exception. She and her sister ships are extraordinary in their capability and capacity. This is both necessary and good because she can expect to be called upon time and time again to take her crew and her compliment of Marines into harm’s way.”
