Navy Awards Contract for Third LCS
The U.S. Navy awarded a $197.6 million contract option to a team lead by Lockheed Martin for construc- tion of the third Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). LCS 3 will be the second built by the Lockheed Martin team. "This contract award is a testament to the strong resolve of both the Navy and industry to get these highly capable ships into the water as quickly as possible," said Rear
Adm. Charles Hamilton, the Navy's Program Executive
Officer for Ships. "LCS will introduce unprecedented speed, agility and flexibility into the littoral battlespace.
The rapid acquisition of these modular warships sets a new standard for procurement in support of the warfighter."
The Lockheed Martin team will begin construction of
LCS 3 in January 2007 at Bollinger Shipyards in
Lockport, La., and ship delivery is planned for 2009. It will later be homeported in San Diego, Calif., with the first two ships of the class.
Lockheed Martin Corp.'s Maritime Systems & Sensors unit, Moorestown, NJ, is the prime contractor.
Teammates include Bollinger Shipyards, Lockport, LA, ship designer Gibbs & Cox, Arlington, Va., and
Marinette Marine, Marinette, Wis., which is currently building LCS 1 Freedom.
Under a separate contract, General Dynamics is cur- rently building LCS 2 Independence, with an option to build a second ship.
