In 2024, BAE Systems received a $212 million contract from the U.S. Navy for the modernization of the amphibious transport dock USS Green Bay (LPD 20).
Under the docking selected restricted availability (DSRA) contract awarded, BAE Systems will dry-dock the 684-foot-long ship at its San Diego shipyard. The shipyard’s employees and industry partners will perform upkeep work on the underwater hull, repair its system of ballast tanks, preserve its amphibious well deck area, and refurbish the living spaces for sailors and Marines onboard. The work is expected to begin in February 2025.
“USS Green Bay’s DSRA is a major event in the service life of the 15-year-old ship,” said Eric Icke, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems San Diego Ship Repair. “Once completed, the DSRA will allow Green Bay to continue executing a wide range of naval missions for many years to come.”
USS Green Bay is the fourth ship of the San Antonio class and was commissioned in January 2009. It is the second U.S. Navy vessel named after the Wisconsin city.
BAE Systems is a leading provider of ship repair, maintenance, modernization, conversion, and overhaul services for the Navy, other government agencies, and select commercial customers. The company’s San Diego shipyard has approximately 700 employees and works with the Navy and several subcontractor companies to accomplish its ship sustainment work.
