A ship built in Maine for the Navy passed critical tests last week during three days of inspections, Bath Iron Works announced.

The Carl M. Levin, a DDG 120, passed inspections of its hull and mechanical and electrical systems during tests in the Gulf of Maine.

The ship is named for former Michigan Sen. Carl M. Levin, the longtime chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee who helped oversee the adoption of the National Defense Authorization Act, according to BIW.

“Carl M. Levin reflects well on the dedication of all the shipbuilders who have contributed to its success,” said BIW President Chuck Krugh. “We look forward to delivery of this fine ship to the U.S. Navy.”

Other ships currently under construction at BIW include Arleigh Burke-class destroyers John Basilone (DDG 122), Harvey C. Barnum Jr. (DDG 124) and Patrick Gallagher (DDG 127) as well as the Flight III configuration destroyers Louis H. Wilson Jr. (DDG 126), William Charette (DDG 130) and Quentin Walsh (DDG 132).

Bath Iron Works, a division of General Dynamics, employs about 6,800 people in Maine and is the state’s fourth largest private employer.
