Bill Galinis, supervisor of shipbuilding, Gulf Coast. "This team conducted over 180 demonstrations and tests over the last week with the Board of Inspection and Survey, with all major events conducted safely and very successfully. I'm very proud of this team on the William P. Lawrence DDG 110 and the effort you put forth during the construction, test and leading to the delivery of this fine ship. Your performance on all the major events leading up to this day have been nothing short of tremendous. Each member of the Northrop Grumman and Navy team should walk off the ship with heads held high and feeling very proud because you have done an extremely tremendous job and the Navy is getting a very good ship."
"Sea trials were excellent and they confirmed what I have been watching over the past 20 months," said U.S. Navy Cmdr. Tom Williams, prospective commanding officer, DDG 110. "The Northrop Grumman shipbuilding team has produced an outstanding ship. The engineering plant will make sure we can sail fast and the weapons trial demonstrated that we can hit the enemy hard. My crew is ready to come aboard and demonstrate that our motto will be 'Never Give In.' I am very proud of this ship and that it will live up to the legacy of Admiral William P. Lawrence. The shipbuilders should be very proud of what they did here, too."
