Navy buys $223 million Littoral Combat Ship from General Dynamics/Austal

Article Abstract:

The US Navy has ordered a Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) from General Dynamics Corp. (GD) division in Bath Iron Works, which would be the first of two planned 'Flight 0' versions of the ship to be bought from GD. Austal, an Australian shipbuilder, would construct the futuristic triple aluminum hulled ship in its yard in Mobile, Alaska, and it stands to reap about half the $233 million contract amount.
