HII's Ingalls Shipbuilding division secured a $283 million contract from the U.S. Navy to support lead yard activities for the new FF(X) class frigate. This contract enables Ingalls to begin design, procure materials, and start pre-construction work on the first ship, leveraging their proven design from the Legend-class national security cutter. The new frigates will be built alongside other major Navy ships, supported by over $1 billion in recent facility upgrades. This project is key to enhancing the Navy's fleet with smaller, agile surface combatants to improve operational flexibility worldwide.
