The Navy marked the start of fabrication for the future USS Ralph Johnson (DDG 114) in a ceremony Sept. 12 at the Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss.
 
The keel laying ceremony recognizes the first joining together of a ship’s components. While modern shipbuilding processes allow fabrication of individual modules to begin months earlier, keel laying represents the formal beginning of a ship.
