Montford Christening. The Navy was to christen the first of its Mobile Landing Platform ships in a ceremony on Saturday in San Diego. The Montford Point (T-MLP-1) was built by General Dynamics National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO) and is expected to be delivered to Military Sealift Command this year. It is due to be operational in 2015. The Mobile Landing Platforms are designed to provide logistical support for the Navy and reduce dependence on foreign ports.
