“We have extensive experience with the Navy’s Ticonderoga-class
guided missile cruisers and specifically with the Philippine Sea,”
said Todd Hooks, general manager of BAE Systems Jacksonville Ship

DSRA and return the ship back to the fleet ready for continued
service.”
The USS Philippine Sea was commissioned in March 1989. Work on
board the 567-foot-long ship is expected to begin in April and be
completed in February 2019. The company’s Jacksonville shipyard
currently employs about 540 people.
