    Green Bay 1170k New Orleans, 1 July 2008 -- The Northrop Grumman Corporation-built amphibious transport dock ship PCU Green Bay (LPD-20) successfully completed builder's trials last week, a collaborative effort between the company's Shipbuilding sector and the U.S. Navy. Later this month, the US Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey team will conduct acceptance trials aboard LPD-20, which will involve more rounds of extensive testing of the ship's major systems. Green Bay's mission is to embark, transport and land elements of a landing force in a variety of expeditionary and special operations missions.
