DDG 1000
DDG 1000 is the US Navy's multi-mission destroyer. The ship is
designed to provide an affordable, independent forward presence
and to operate as an integral part of naval, joint, or combined
maritime forces. DDG 1000 will provide advanced land attack
capability in support of ground campaigns and will contribute
naval, joint, or combined battle-space dominance in shoreline
operations.

LPD 17
Amphibious assault ship
LPD 17 amphibious transports are used to transport and land
Marines, their equipment, and supplies. The combat power of this
ship is its embarked Marines and their equipment, so it must be
able to efficiently embark, transport, and land elements of the
force by helicopter, landing craft including air cushion,
amphibious vehicles and expeditionary fighting vehicles.

LHD 7
The 40,500-ton LHD 7, second in size only to the Navy’s aircraft
carriers, is designed to lay off a troubled area of the world,
and insert its 2,000-member Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU)
ashore by helicopter and 40 mph hover craft. As the centerpiece
of an Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), an LHD is fully capable of
amphibious assault, advance force and special purpose
operations, as well as noncombatant evacuation and other
humanitarian missions. For operational support, an LHD carries
its own squadron of AV-8B Harrier II jets, as well as a full
range of Navy/Marine Corps helicopters and amphibious vehicles.
Additionally, the ships are fully equipped with command and
control (C 4 I) systems for flagship command duty; and have
medical facilities, including a hospital with up to 600 beds.

Deepwater Project
The Deepwater project is a comprehensive upgrade of the Coast
Guard's ship and air capabilities with an anticipated 40-year
lifespan. It encompasses three classes of new cutters, new and
upgraded helicopters, and both land- and cutter-based unmanned
air vehicles (UAVs), all linked to Command, Control,
Communications and Computers, Intelligence Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. Northrop Grumman has already
been awarded Frost & Sullivan's Technology Leadership Award for
this long-range program.

CVN 21
carrier
CVN 21 is an advanced aircraft carrier platform with an
innovative new power plant and a redesigned flight deck with an
advanced aircraft recovery system (AARS). These new features
will reduce crew workload, thereby enhancing safety and reducing
operating costs. Smart sensors will reduce watch-standing
requirements and help automate damage control functions, such as
fire and flood detection.

George
H. W. Bush (CVN 77)
The George H. W. Bush (CVN 77) is the 10th and final Nimitz-class
aircraft carrier. Named after the nation’s 41st president, this
powerful warship features numerous improvements, including a top
speed that exceeds 30 knots, two nuclear reactors that can
operate for more than 20 years without refueling, and four high
speed aircraft elevators, each more than 4,000 square feet, to
bring planes to the flight deck from the 80-craft hangar below.
At capacity, the CVN 77 will be home to 6,000 Navy personnel.

Virginia-class submarines
The Virginia class, the most advanced submarine in the world,
uses advanced technologies to increase firepower,
maneuverability, and stealth. The 377-foot long submarines are
capable of submerged speeds of more than 25 knots and can stay
submerged for up to three months at a time. Northrop Grumman is
currently under contract to build the first 10 submarines of the
Virginia class.

Virginia
Advanced Shipbuilding and Carrier Integration Center (VASCIC)
The Virginia Advanced Shipbuilding and Carrier Integration
Center (VASCIC) was established in 1998 by the Commonwealth of
Virginia's General Assembly to enhance and promote the quality
and competitiveness of Virginia's shipbuilding industry.
Northrop Grumman will manage VASCIC. In this state-of-the-art
facility, Northrop Grumman along with electronic system
suppliers, software suppliers, US Navy laboratories and program
representatives, and Virginia institutions of higher learning,
will develop new technologies for aircraft carriers and advanced
shipbuilding.
