Roll Out
At the end of January or early February March or early April, NJ will be moved from its initial assembly building to a floating drydock. Multiple hydraulic sleds will lift the 7,900 ton vessel and slowly move it a quarter of a mile to the water.
She will stay within the floating drydock to finish the last remaining jobs before being ready to be lowered and moored next to the pier for the first time later this spring.
