BAE Systems’ Norfolk shipyard will begin working aboard the
510-foot-long ship in January 2021. Under the awarded DSRA
contract, BAE Systems will drydock the ship; perform hull, tank and
mechanical work; install upgraded electronic and electrical
systems; and make other shipboard improvements.
“Our team of employees, subcontractors and Navy personnel are
working hard to sustain the workhorse of the fleet – the Arleigh
Burke class destroyer,” said Mark Whitney, deputy general manager
of BAE Systems Ship Repair and general manager of Norfolk Ship
Repair. “We look forward to applying our vast experience to
modernize the USS Stout, so that its crew members can do their jobs
in defense of our nation for many years to come.”
The USS Stout is named in honor of U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Herald
F. Stout (1903-1987). During World War II, then-Commander Stout
commanded a destroyer that was assigned to the Little Beaver
squadron under then-Commodore Arleigh Burke. He earned two Navy
Cross medals for command of the ship. The Stout became the fifth
ship of the Arleigh Burke class of guided-missile destroyers, which
now numbers 68 ships.
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 operates four full-service
shipyards in California, Florida, Hawaii, and Virginia, and offers
a highly skilled, experienced workforce, seven dry-docks/railways,
and significant pier space and ship support services. The company’s
Norfolk shipyard has approximately 1,250 employees and works with
the Navy and several subcontractor companies to accomplish its
sustainment work.
