General Dynamics‘ NASSCO business delivered USNS John L. Canley (ESB 6), the fourth ship for the U.S. Navy’s reclassified Expeditionary Sea Base program, to the service branch on Wednesday.

According to the Naval Sea Systems Command, the vessel named after Sgt. Maj. John L. Canley can support various military operations, including airborne mine countermeasures and crisis response sea-basing.

It also is equipped with a flight deck with four aviation operating spots that can support MH-53E helicopters. 

“Today’s delivery highlights the strengths of the Navy and our industry partners, working together to bring ESB 6 and its range of capabilities to the fleet,” said Tim Roberts, strategic and theater sealift program manager at the Navy. 

General Dynamics NASSCO developed the ship under a potential $1.63B contract modification from the Navy in 2019. The vessel was christened in San Diego, California in June 2022. 

The General Dynamics business is currently working on the future USS Robert E. Simanek (ESB 7) at its San Diego shipyard.
