SEATTLE, April 9 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy has exercised a contract option with Todd Shipyards Corp. to provide systems and equipment repairs on the USS John Stennis aircraft carrier.
U.S. company Todd Shipyards says its Todd Pacific Shipyards unit received the award as part of a Planned Incremental Availability program under its Multi-Ship Multi-Option contract with the Navy.
Under the approximately $6.52 million option, Todd Pacific will continue its maintenance of the USS Stennis Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and is expected to be completed with the work before December.
According to a news released, the contract modification "represents the authorization of additional repairs and alterations of various ship's systems and equipment throughout the aircraft carrier Stennis, and is a portion of the work to be completed by Todd Pacific during the overhaul period."
