General Dynamics Awarded $20m for Submarine Support Work

The U.S. Navy has awarded General Dynamics Electric Boat a $20.1 million contract modification for nuclear-submarine and shore-support facility work. Electric Boat is a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics. Electric Boat will provide management, design and installation services for shore-support facilities consolidations and operational nuclear-submarine retrofits. Work is expected to be completed by November 2009. Initially awarded in March 2004, the contract could be worth more than $1.1 billion over five years if all options are exercised and funded.
