HII reported completion of builder’s sea trials for Harrisburg, LPD 30, the first Flight II San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock. Testing covered propulsion, steering, communications, mission systems and combat-system integration. Acceptance trials and delivery to the US Navy remain subsequent milestones.
