HII is Awarded Contract Modification for Aircraft Carrier John F. Kennedy (CVN 79)
2023年6月24日 - 6:30AM
HII (NYSE: HII) announced today that its Newport News Shipbuilding
(NNS) division has received contract modifications totaling $393.3
million from the U.S. Navy to shift the delivery strategy for the
aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy (CVN 79).
The contract action announced today revises the delivery
approach for the second Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier,
shifting work previously planned for Post-Shakedown Availability
(PSA) completion at NNS into the baseline construction contract.
Under the new delivery strategy, John F. Kennedy will now deliver
to the Navy July 31, 2025.
“The contract modification reflects extensive collaboration with
the Navy, as we have supported their decision to change the
delivery strategy,” said Lucas Hicks, NNS vice president for John
F. Kennedy (CVN 79) new construction aircraft carrier program.
“This strategy will decrease post-delivery work required and
increase ship capability and readiness at delivery. We understand
the importance of Kennedy and look forward to delivering this
mission-ready capability to the Navy.”

Kennedy continues the legacy of highly capable nuclear-powered
aircraft carrier platforms. Ford-class enhancements incorporated
into the design include an enhanced flight deck, improved weapons
handling systems and a redesigned island, all to support increased
operational efficiency and reduced manning requirements. The
Ford-class also features a new nuclear power plant, increased
electrical power-generation capacity, and growth margin for future
technologies.
Thousands of shipbuilders and suppliers from across the country
are supporting the construction of Kennedy at NNS, which is the
nation’s sole designer, builder and refueler of nuclear-powered
aircraft carriers. Two other Ford-class aircraft carriers are
currently under construction at NNS: Enterprise (CVN 80) and Doris
Miller (CVN 81).
