Huntington Ingalls Wins $58M to Modernize US Navy's Nuclear-Powered Subs

Huntington Ingalls has won two contracts worth $58 million combined in the US Navy’s efforts to repair and modernize Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered attack submarines.

Contracts valued at $38 million and $20 million have been awarded to the company to continue performance of the repair, maintenance, upgrades, and modernization efforts on the USS Helena (SSN 725) and USS Columbus (SSN 762) respectively.

This work is necessary to ensure the submarine is operating at full technical capacity as defined in the availability work package during the Chief of Naval Operations scheduled maintenance availability, Pentagon said in a statement Tuesday.
