PASCAGOULA, Miss. - Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division ceremonially authenticated the keel of Legend-class national security cutter Calhoun (WMSL 759) on July 23. Calhoun has reached the halfway point of its construction. Ingalls is the builder-of-record for the Legend-class NSC program and has delivered cutters - two more are under construction. NSC #10 is named for Charles L. Calhoun, the first master chief petty officer of the Coast Guard. Ship sponsor Christina Calhoun Zubowicz, granddaughter of Master Chief Calhoun, wrote her initials onto a steel plate that will be welded inside the cutter. (Source: HII 07/23/21)
