The contracts also include options for additional ships, should they be funded in future defense budgets. The Navy did not disclose the value of the contracts<b> <\/b>in its Tuesday announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navy.mil\/Press-Office\/News-Stories\/Article\/2248530\/navy-awards-ddg-51-fy18-22-multiyear-procurement-contracts\/\" target=\"_blank\">previous multiyear procurement contract<\/a>, which covered ships from FY18-22, the Navy initially awarded $3.9 billion to Bath Iron Works for four ships and $5.1 billion to Ingalls Shipbuilding for six ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost of the ships has increased since the last contract, however. According to FY24 budget documents, the Navy plans to spend $7.87 billion in FY23 for three ships. It projects spending about $4.3 billion to $4.7 billion a year to buy two destroyers a year throughout the rest of the contract period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, Bath Iron Works was running behind on its Arleigh Burke-class destroyer construction as it struggled to finish building the Zumwalt-class destroyers. The split reflected Ingalls\u2019 ability to deliver the ships faster, amid the backlog at BIW\u2019s Maine shipyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though Bath has completed the Zumwalt program, it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/breaking-news\/2021\/12\/06\/bath-iron-works-plays-catch-up-on-ship-delivery-after-years-of-upheaval\/\" target=\"_blank\">still working to dig out<\/a> of its backlog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cArleigh Burke class destroyers are the backbone of the surface fleet and one of the most successful shipbuilding programs in the history of the Navy,\u201d Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said in a statement. \u201cThese awards provide a long term stable demand signal to the shipbuilder and industrial supply base, encouraging industry investment in the workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ingalls Shipbuilding President Kari Wilkinson echoed that point in a company statement, saying, \u201cwe look forward to the years of stability that this award provides.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This multiyear procurement approach saved $830 million across the nine ships, acting assistant secretary for research, development and acquisition Frederick Stefany said in the Navy statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe appreciate the opportunity to build on our history of providing these highly advanced ships for the U.S. Navy fleet,\u201d Chuck Krugh, president of Bath Iron Works, said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Navy awarded Ingalls Shipbuilding a contract for six destroyers across 2023 to 2027, and Bath Iron Works a contract for three
