HII's Ingalls Shipbuilding has installed the first grand blocks for the DDG 135 destroyer, constructed by partner facilities as part of a distributed shipbuilding initiative. This milestone demonstrates successful offsite production, increasing throughput and allowing Ingalls to focus on final assembly and testing. The approach is expanding to other destroyers, with multiple units already delivered early, showing the model's scalability and potential to accelerate shipbuilding schedules. HII aims to increase distributed shipbuilding by 30% this year to meet high demand across its shipyards.
