MARINETTE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The U.S. Navy is awarding a $39 million contract modification to Fincantieri Marinette Marine.
FMM received the award in 2020 to build a warship, the initial Constellation-class Frigate, and options for nine additional ships as well as various design and training services.
The contract modification money is intended to be used for construction and design requirements of the Constellation-class Frigates.
The estimated total value of the contract for the frigates is now $5.5 billion.
Construction for the frigate, the future USS Constellation, is expected to begin at the end of August. The majority of the work is intended to be completed in Marinette.
