Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock Production Record


Part 2: Hulls 400 and later
(1940's to date)


This is a complete list of all Newport News Shipbuilding production, listed in order by hull number. Where hull numbers are not available, vessels are listed in approximate order by date of order/authorization. Small repair or overhaul jobs that were not assigned hull numbers are not included.

This list was compiled and is maintained by Andrew Toppan, using sources listed at the bottom of the document.

The first column is the Newport News hull number, followed by the vessel's name, the type/size/class of the vessel, the owner/customer for the vessel, the type of work done (new construction, overhaul, etc.), the date the vessel was delivered or commissioned, and the fate or status of the vessel. For ships that remain in existence the current name is listed in the status/fate column; if no name is listed, the vessel retains its original name.

For US Navy vessels, the commissioning date is given; for all others, the delivery date is given.

For conversions and reconditionings, the vessel's new name (at completion) is listed under "name", the original name and description are listed under "type", and the nature of the conversion is listed under "work type".
