Once in the dry dock, the ship is prepared to launch. Ted Stevens is the 76th Arleigh Burke-class ship, and its name honors former U.S. Sen.

Ted Stevens will be christened Saturday, Aug. 19, while Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129), George M. Neal (DDG 131) and Sam Nunn (DDG 133) are also under construction at Ingalls.
