SWM initially won the first LPD/LSD contract in 1985, followed by a second contract in 1990 and a third in 1995. This current contract, which is the company's fourth consecutive, has a total of 16 availabilities. The first scheduled nine-week availability includ- ed the drydocking of USS Denver this September.
