The U.S. Navy today notified Senator Collins, who is a Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, that it has awarded Bath Iron Works a contract in the amount of $20,753,902. The funds will enable BIW to continue work on the DDG-51 AEGIS Class Destroyer Program and all of the work under the contract will be completed at BIW.
“This shipbuilding contract is welcome news to the skilled workforce at BIW, which has played a critical role in the construction of the DDG-51 program. These funds will enable BIW to continue its important contributions to DDG-51, our Navy and our national security,” said Senator Collins.
