BATH, Maine (AP) -- The U.S. Navy has awarded a contract modification to Bath Iron Works worth up to $38 million for work on a class of Navy destroyers.
Republican U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine said Thursday that the award allows the General Dynamics Corp. unit to provide engineering services in detail design and construction for the DDG-1000 warships.
The first DDG-1000, the USS Zumwalt, is under construction at BIW and is scheduled to be delivered to the Navy in 2013.
