USS John C. Stennis Embarks on Next Phase After Exiting Drydoc
The United States Navy’s Nimitz-class supercarrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) undocked from drydock earlier this week, completing a significant milestone during its multi-year Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH) at HII-Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) in Newport News, Virginia. NNS flooded the dry dock with 100 million gallons of water to float and move the carrier to an outfitting berth at the shipyard, where the remainder of the RCOH work and testing will be completed.

USS John C. Stennis Aircraft Carrier: Lots of Work to be Done
The RCOH truly is a “complex overhaul” as NNS shipbuilders replaced thousands of valves, pumps and piping components, while on the outside, they performed major structural updates to the island, mast and antenna tower. Upgrades have been made to all aircraft launch and recovery equipment; while the carrier’s hull, including sea chests and freeboard, has been painted. The team restored the propeller shafts and installed refurbished propellers and rudders.

The USS Tripoli (LHA-7) is equipped with advanced technology, including a hybrid electric propulsion system, which provides greater fuel efficiency and reduces the ship’s environmental footprint. The ship’s commissioning marked a ѕіɡпіfісапt milestone in the Navy’s efforts to modernize its amphibious fleet and maintain readiness for future operations.
