Ingalls Shipbuilding Awarded $769-Million Navy Contract

To Build Four Aegis Cruisers

The U.S. Navy has awarded

Ingalls Shipbuilding division of Lit- ton, Pascagoula, Miss., a $769.1-mil- lion contract to build four addition- al Ticonderoga (CG-47) Class Aegis guided-missile cruisers.

This award brings the total num- ber of Aegis cruisers awarded Ingalls to 19 of the 27 ships authorized in the program. Nine of the ships have been delivered by Ingalls to the

Navy and two more will be delivered later this year. Ingalls is the lead shipyard for the cruiser program, which began in 1978. "The award of four out of five ships to Ingalls is significant for our shipyard and our employees," said

Jerry St. Pe, president of Ingalls and senior vice president of Litton

Industries. "It is the direct result of out- standing performance by Ingalls's work force recorded to date in build- ing the 15 Aegis cruisers, currently under contract on time and within budget, and it reflects the success of our continuing efforts to further im- prove the efficiency of our shipyard operation," he continued.

Mr. St. Pe said the four-ship award would contribute to stabiliz- ing future work force levels, and help sustain high levels of employ- ment that will be reached within the next three years. Overall employ- ment at the shipyard is currently 11,500.
