The U.S. Navy has awarded General Dynamics a contract worth $107 million for USS Bataan maintenance, modernization and repair. The company will provide the facilities and human resources capable of completing, coordinating and integrating multiple areas of ship maintenance, repair and modernization for USS Bataan (LHD 5). Work is expected to be completed by December 2021.

NASSCO will carry out the vessel's selected restricted availability for the fiscal year 2020 under the firm-fixed-price contract, the Department of Defense said Wednesday.

Naval Sea Systems Command received one offer for the project via a full and open competition within the East Coast and Gulf Coast areas. The branch will obligate $106.9M at the time of award from its FY 2020 operations and maintenance and other procurement funds.


Work will take place in Norfolk, Va., through December 2021.

I wonder if that is the same work package that Bon homme Richard was just finishing up?
On the workbench:
1/700 HMS Swiftsure - Combrig
1/700 CGC Chelan - White Ensign
1/700 HMCS Forrest Hill - HP
1/700 Ulsan - Kobo Hiryu
--and dozens more
