BIW Will Get $383.6-Million

Navy Contract To Build

Two Aegis CG-47 Cruisers

Bath Iron Works Corporation (BIW) in Maine is the apparent suc- cessful bidder for two of the three

Aegis guided-missile cruisers of the

Ticonderoga (CG-47) Class that the

U.S. Navy ordered recently under the FY 85 shipbuilding program.

The other ship was awarded to In- galls Shipbuilding, which was chos- en as the lead yard when the Aegis cruiser program began in 1978. The latest contract brings to four the number of cruisers ordered from

BIW; Ingalls has received orders for a total of 13.

According to BIW president Wil- liam E. Haggett, price was a key factor in the Navy's decision on the latest contracts. "BIW has under- taken major efforts to contain costs, and our pricing on these ships re- flects a management commitment to continue with every initiative necessary to remain ahead of the competition," he said.

BIW, Ingalls, and Todd Ship- yards Corporation are all bidding for the construction of the DDG-51, lead ship in the new Arleigh Burke

Class Aegis guided-missile de- stroyers. Authorized in the FY 85 shipbuilding program, the contract for the DDG-51 is scheduled to be awarded in January 1985.
