SAN DIEGO, June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- General Dynamics NASSCO, a subsidiary of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Navy for the detailed design and construction of the next generation of fleet oilers, the John Lewis class (TAO-205), previously known as the TAO(X). This contract is for the construction of six ships.
The first ship of the program was funded in the FY2016 budget, allowing engineering and design work to begin immediately. The U.S. Navy's FY2017 budget requests advance procurement for a second ship, with procurement expected to occur in FY2018.
Designed to transfer fuel to U.S. Navy surface ships operating at sea, the oilers will have the capacity to carry 156,000 barrels of oil, including the Navy's new bio fuels. The oilers also offer a significant dry cargo capacity, aviation capability and will reach a speed of 20 knots.
"We are pleased to be building the next generation of oilers and participating in the future design efforts of the LX(R), two very important ship programs for the fleet," said Fred Harris, president of General Dynamics NASSCO and Bath Iron Works. "With this award, we will now proceed with engineering and design work."
As part of the U.S. Navy's acquisition strategy for the TAO-205 program, NASSCO has also been awarded LX(R) contract design engineering man-hours.
NASSCO maintains an extensive history of building ships for the U.S. Navy. Similar to the TAO-205 program, NASSCO shipbuilders recently completed a 14-ship T-AKE program for the U.S. Navy.
Currently, the San Diego-based shipbuilder is under contract to construct its fourth Expeditionary Sea Base (ESB) for the U.S. Navy, USNS Hershel Williams, and is under contract to procure long-lead time material and engineering support for a fifth ESB.
