General Dynamics (NYSE: GD) and the U.S. Navy have finalized a multibillion-dollar agreement for the company to build nine Virginia-class attack submarines, Bloomberg reported Monday.
The deal includes options to procure two additional vessels by 2023 and a source familiar with service documents said the multiyear agreement is expected to be valued at approximately $20B.
Capt. Danny Hernandez, a spokesman for the Navy, said in a statement that the service plans to announce by the end of December a contract, which he said aims to offer stability to the industrial base, include lethality improvements and generate savings.
The contract being contemplated allows us to maintain a stable Virginia-class build rate, said Elizabeth Power, a spokeswoman for General Dynamics Electric Boat subsidiary.
The companys Electric Boat unit works with Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE: HII) to produce the Virginia-class submarine.
