$8.6-Million Contract

For Frigate Overhaul

Awarded By Navy To BIW

A contract for approximately $8.6 million to overhaul the frig- ate USS Brumby (FF-1044) was awarded by the U.S. Navy re- cently to Bath Iron Works, mark- ing the second ship of the class slated for the shipyard within a month. A like contract for ap- proximately $9 million for its sis- ter ship, USS Edward McDonnell (FF-1043), was awarded to the company in October. Both frig- ates were commissioned into the

Navy in 1965, and both are sched- uled to arrive at the Bath, Maine, yard in February 1981 for 10- month overhauls. "We won both contracts against intense competition in an ex- tremely depressed shipbuilding industry," said BIW president

John F. Sullivan Jr. "They reflect our aggressive marketing, which in turn reflects our total confi- dence in the ability of our man- agement and shipbuilders to meet the most demanding budgets and schedules."

Mr. Sullivan said the dual over- hauls will require about 800 work- ers at their peak. The newest award raises the value of con- tracts won by Bath Iron Works since September to approximately $64.7 million.
