NAVY (continued) 1987. Additional funding is re- quested for submarine advanced combat system development (IBM and EG&G have had a lead role) and the ASW stand-off weapon (Boeing is prime contractor). De- tails for the proposed RDT&E bud- get are shown in Exhibit 9.

INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

Shipbuilding in this country con- tinues to be dominated by one cus- tomer—the Navy.

GE to Buy RCA

Shareholders of RCA approved the $6.3-billion acquisition of the firm by GE. The deal strengthens

GE's already strong presence in the

Navy market. GE supplies the LM- 2500 gas turbine, naval nuclear plants, Trident fire control systems and other ship systems. RCA's long involvement in Aegis gives GE a leading position in surface combat- ant electronics.

Bath And Ingalls Receive

Aegis Cruiser Contracts

In early January Navy awarded

Bath a $387-million contract to build two CG-47 class cruisers. In- galls received a $243-million con- tract to build one CG cruiser. Bath now has six CG's on order for a total contract value of $1.3 billion. Ingalls has already completed four CG's and has nine more on order.

Newport News To Build

Trident Submarines

Extending its policy to use com- petition to drive prices down, Navy had decided to invite Newport News to bid on future Trident construc- tion. GD-Electric Boat has already received contracts for 12 Trident submarines. Current plans call for eight more Tridents at the rate of one contract per year. As an initial step Newport News will be selected to perform post shakedown work on (continued)

HBC BARGES LAST LONGER.

They last longer because they are: • built by craftsmen. • designed to provide maximum pound for pound strength with attention to critical wear points. • built with a full measure of quality materials and welding. • built straight and dimen- sionally accurate. HBC Barge

What's more, HBC has the versatility to build the Brownsville barge that will last longer Pennsylvania 15417 in your service. Phone: 412/785-6100 16
