Bath Iron Works has been awarded a $21 million contract modification for extended construction work on DDG 51 destroyers.
Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-Maine, announced the contract on Thursday. The contract is a modification of a previously awarded contract.
Pingree said as a result of the new contract, BIW will be able to provide engineering and support work to the Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss.
“This is a great example of the phrase ‘Bath built is best built,'” Pingree said. “BIW has done a great job as the lead shipbuilder on this contract, and it makes sense they get this additional contract to provide this kind of technical service to the other yard building these ships.”
