    A&J Manufacturing Company To Celebrate the U.S. Navy’s Newest Amphibious Warship

    A&J Manufacturing Company participated in the construction of USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26), the U.S.Navy’s newest San Antonio-class amphibious warship which will be commissioned in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday, October 8.

    Our company, A&J Manufacturing which employs over 30 individuals in Tustin, CA, contributed Electronic Enclosure Cabinets and Sliding Shelves to the U.S. Navy’s newest amphibious warship, USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26).

    A&J is very excited to celebrate the commissioning of USS John P. Murtha on October 8 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

    Currently, there are only 30 amphibious warships in the U.S. Navy – eight ships below the stated U.S. Marine Corps minimum requirement – and almost a third of these are unavailable due to much-needed maintenance.  Therefore, to ensure future amphibious requirements are sustained, it is critical to maintain the hot production line between the building of amphibious warships – particularly between the currently under-construction LPD 28 and the first of the next generation of amphibious warships, LX(R).

    “I think the nation often overlooks the valuable technological skills and expertise of our workers and engineers required to build these massive and complex ships for the country’s defense,” states Brian Schires, Vice President of Naval Marine Programs, Rolls-Royce North America Inc. Rolls-Royce Marine North America built the propellers aboard USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26).
