The Navy has awarded Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding in Newport News a $96.7 million contract for an array of work on Los Angeles-, Seawolf- and Virginia-class submarines as well as Ohio-class ballistic-missile and guided-missile subs. The contract includes options that, if exercised, would bring its total value to $635.2 million.

The work encompasses engineering, technical, design and modernization support, among other things.

Work will be performed in Newport News and is expected to be completed by September 2010.

If all of the contract options are exercised, the work is scheduled to conclude in 2014.
