Wins Avondale

Contract

LPD-17 class vessels, which are modern diesel-powered amphibious assault ships capable of transiting the

Panama Canal.

Philadelphia will transport and deploy the combat and support elements of Marine

Expeditionary Brigades as a key component of amphibi- ous task forces.

The reduction gears are similar to the LSD-41 class reduction gears previously furnished by Philadelphia

Gear and will be used to combine power from two 10,400 hp diesel engines to a controllable pitch pro- peller. Two reduction gears are required for each ship, and the class size is set at 12 ships.
