Virginia class submarine Minnesota was launched into the James River on November 3 at the company’s Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) division.
“Launch is a significant accomplishment in the life of a submarine,” said Jim Hughes, NNS’ Vice President of submarines and fleet support. “It’s an opportunity for our incredible shipbuilders to stand back and take pride in their work. Thanks to their tremendous efforts and steadfast determination, Minnesota’s progress is nearly one year ahead of schedule and has been built using about 6,00,000 fewer man-hours than the previous boat.”
To achieve it’s latest milestone, the 7,800-tonne Minnesota was moved out of a construction facility into a floating dry dock using a transfer car system. The floating dry dock was submerged, and Minnesota was launched into the James River. Once in the water, tugboats moved the submarine to NNS’ submarine pier, where final outfitting and testing will take place.
