Sea Trials ✅
Delivery ✅

The celebration continues at NASSCO! Yesterday, we officially delivered the USNS Sojourner Truth (T-AO 210), the sixth ship in the U.S. Navy’s John Lewis-class fleet oiler program.

This milestone is the ultimate payoff for the thousands of hours, immense skill, and hard work our team pours into the deck plates. From the first cut of steel to this final hand-off, it takes an entire shipyard family to bring a vessel of this scale to life.

Thank you to everyone who made this day a reality!

The grills were hot and the tradition continues! 🔥

Last Friday, we were back at it for another Galley Cookout for the future USNS Harriet Tubman (T-AO 213), celebrating the incredible teamwork between and Trident Maritime Systems.

These cookouts are more than just food - they're our way of pausing to recognize the relentless craftsmanship and dedication it takes to bring these ships to life.

With every space we close out on ground, we're one step closer to delivery. Many thanks to the crews putting in the hard work day in and day out!

"The Hector A. Cafferata Jr. is the last ship of the ESB class and it’s a shining example of what design innovation can ultimately achieve. I am extremely proud of our team for their exceptional work, craftsmanship and dedication to this program and will miss looking out over the shipyard to see this imposing, one-of-a kind creation." Dave Carver, President of General Dynamics NASSCO; (3/7/2026)

Farewell to the USNS Lucy Stone (T-AO 209) as she officially departs the NASSCO shipyard to begin her service life with the Navy. 👋 Seeing her head out into San Diego Bay is the ultimate reward for thousands of shipbuilders who brought her to life.

Today, we took a monumental step in the construction of the future USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg (T-AO 212) with the formal laying of her keel. As the eighth ship in the John Lewis-class fleet replenishment oiler program, this vessel is more than just steel – it is a tribute to a pioneer of equality and a titan of the Supreme Court. ⚖️

We were honored to have Ms. Jane Ginsburg, daughter of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, join our skilled NASSCO welders to authenticate the keel, permanently etching a legacy of justice into the ship’s backbone.

We are grateful for everyone who joined the NASSCO shipbuilders to mark this milestone in the life of the future USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg (T-AO 212).
