HII to build small surface combatants for U.S. Navy

HII’s (HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division has been selected by the U.S. Navy to design and build the future small surface combatant, SSC, ship, leveraging the proven design of the Ingalls-built Legend-class national security cutter, NSC. “With a proven track record of building complex ships, and having the available facility capacity, Ingalls shipbuilders will once again engage in construction activities alongside its destroyer and amphibious ship shipbuilding lines where the national security cutters were built, using the same sequence of build,” the company said.
