The Navy announced a $1.5-billion contract Friday to Huntington Ingalls Industries [HII] for the construction of the 10th ship in the San Antonio-class (LPD-17) of amphibious transport dock ships. The fixed fixed-price incentive calls for the detail design and construction LPD-27. The Navy plans to procure 11 LPDs designed to project power ashore. The ship will be built at HII’s shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss.
