BAE has performed life cycle maintenance on its Titan floating drydock to prepare for the upcoming work on the USS Wasp. Titan is designed to carry 52.5K long tons of weight, and the company expects the drydock to support ship work for up to 25 more years.
“BAE Systems is very familiar with USS Wasp, performing substantial upgrade work onboard before its forward deployment to Japan three years ago,” said Mark Whitney, deputy general manager of BAE’s ship repair unit and GM of Norfolk Ship Repair.
The company modified USS Wasp between late 2016 and mid-2017 for the ship to better accommodate the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft.
