Fairbanks Morse has been awarded a contract to build and deliver the main propulsion diesel engines that will power LPD 29, the Navy’s 13th San Antonio landing platform dock class ship
Construction of the engines will begin in 2019 and they are scheduled to be delivered in 2020 to Huntington Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi.
