These mean significant growth for the company and help strengthen our current offering to BAE Systems whom we have worked with over the last 6 years on the Type 26 Frigates. These are closely aligned to Babcock’s Type 31 Frigate, which means we should be able to “hit the ground running” for this prestigious new client.
