The U.S. Navy has awarded Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE: HII) a potential $2.8 billion contract to perform refueling and complex overhaul work on the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington.
The Defense Departmentsaid Friday the military service will obligate $1.51 billion at the time of award from the branch’s fiscal 2017 and 2016 shipbuilding and conversion funds.
Huntington Ingalls will refuel reactors of CVN 73 as well as modernize the warship’s flight deck, compartments, tanks, combat systems, catapults and island under the contract.
