The recently-commissioned San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) returned to Naval Base San Diego, July 21, after completing final contract trials (FCT).
The USS John P. Murtha was commissioned in October 2016 in Philadelphia and arrived at her San Diego homeport in November 2016 to commence her post delivery test & trials period. The Navy’s Board of Inspection and Survey conducts FCT as a final in-depth examination of a newly constructed ship to ensure it meets navy standards and requirements.
“USS John P. Murtha and her crew have proven with every test that she is capable and ready for deployment,” said Capt. Brian Metcalf, LPD 17 class program manager. “LPD 26 is the 10th ship in the San Antonio class to join the fleet. With this ship, the U.S. Navy gains another versatile platform that will be utilized in a variety of missions.”
