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, BAE Systems will dry-dock the 684’ vessel at its San Diego shipyard. According to a BAE statement, 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 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.
