US Navy Awards $418M Contract
1 source · first reported 3h ago
The US Navy has awarded a $418.5 million contract to NorthStar Maritime Dismantlement Services to dismantle its first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The contract is $118 million less than initially planned. The carrier will be completely dismantled, recycled, and disposed of.
Why it matters
The contract marks a significant step in the Navy's nuclear carrier decommissioning process, with potential implications for future nuclear vessel disposal. The cost savings may also impact the Navy's budget allocation for other programs.
