US Navy modifies carrier Kennedy contract for F-35 and delivery changes

Gerald · 11-03-20, 07:33 PM

As expected, the US Navy (USN) awarded the Newport News Shipbuilding unit of Huntington-Ingalls Industries (HII) contract modifications on 2 November that shift the delivery of the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) to a single-phase process and incorporates changes in the ship to accommodate Lockheed Martin F-35C Joint Strike Fighter flight operations.

Quote:

With the change, the ship will be delivered three months earlier than initially planned, according to the previously reported schedule.

Note: 03 NOVEMBER 2020
