USS New York (LPD21) Features Modular Washer-Extractors from EDRO

August 24, 2009 -- AVONDALE, LA.  Today the USS New York (LPD-21) will begin her mission to "Never Forget" the events that happened on September 11, 2001.  The LPD class of Navy warships features an amphibious landing arsenal capable of delivering 1,800 Marines to virtually any battlefield.  At eight years and thousands of man-hours in the making, the USS New York, her bow forged from 7 1/2 tons of precious steel recovered from the World Trade Center, will slice through the waters of New York Harbor later this year to be officially commissioned as a U.S. Navy ship.  USS New York will be an enduring tribute to those who lost their lives on 9/11 and, through the ship’s crew, will carry the spirit of New York wherever she goes in defense of our country.

To provide clean laundry for the ship's personnel, the main shipboard laundry onboard the USS New York features modular washer-extractors from EDRO's line of U.S. Navy approved surface warship models.  These unique units feature modular designed construction for ease of access and are fitted with reliable PLC based controls.  The main laundry wash aisle is capable of providing clean laundry for the entire installment of permanent and extended ship's force.

The EDRO Corporation, located in East Berlin, CT USA, is the United States Navy's prime supplier of washer-extractors and tumbler dryers for the main laundries on surface warship and submarine fleets.
