HII Awarded Advanced Planning Contract for USS George Washington On Feb. 4, Huntington Ingalls Industries was awarded a $224 million modification to an existing contract for advanced planning of the refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) of the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73). The contract funds continued planning work for the RCOH as well as the procurement of long-lead materials, including items such as pumps, breakers, valves and steel to support fabrication of structural units.

“The company has worked closely with our Navy partners, performing ship checks and selected planning tasks associated with the defueling of the ship,” said Chris Miner, vice president, In-Service Aircraft Carrier Programs. “This contract award allows us to move beyond defueling and plan all the work associated with a full RCOH, which underscores the Navy’s continued commitment to ensuring this great national asset remains in the fleet and operational for another 25 years.”
