Deliveries are due in November 2016.
- An $11.4 million cost-plus-incentive-fee contract won by its General Dynamics NASSCO-Earl Industries unit, which has been tasked with performing maintenance and repair work on the U.S. Navy's landing platform/dock USS San Antonio. Work on the vessel is due for completion by May.
