MARINETTE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Fincantieri Marinette Marine was awarded a billion-dollar contract to build two additional Constellation-class Frigates, FFG 66 and FFG 67.
The two-ship option from the Department of Defense is valued at $1,044,529,113, the Pentagon says.
Fincantieri Marinette Marine received the contract for the lead ship of the Constellation-Class in April 2020, and since then the Navy has exercised five options for follow-on vessels.
The lead ship, the future USS Constellation FFG 62, is under construction now at the newly revamped shipyard.
Five ships are waiting to be built with contract options for four more vessels.
