Huntington Ingalls secured a
$44.1 million contract modification from the U.S. Department of War for additional work tied to the USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH), a major mid-life modernization program that extends the operational life of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. The cost-plus-incentive-fee award also includes a special incentive linked to meeting project deadlines, underscoring the Navy's focus on schedule execution.
The work will be performed at the company's Newport News Shipbuilding facility in Virginia, with completion expected by October 2026. The Naval Sea Systems Command is managing the contract, which includes
$15 million in FY2026 shipbuilding and conversion funds obligated at the time of award. Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls, is one of only two U.S. shipyards capable of building and refueling nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
