BAE to upkeep US Navy’s Ticonderoga class warships


NORFOLK, VIRGINIA (BNS): BAE Systems has received a contract from the US Navy to maintain six Ticonderoga class (CG 47) guided missile cruisers.
Under the multi-ship, multi-option (MSMO) dry dock contract, spanning for five years, BAE will undertake execution planning, modernisation, maintenance and repair work for the warships.
The ships include: USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55), USS San Jacinto (CG 56), USS Normandy (CG 60), USS Monterey (CG 61), USS Anzio (CG 68) and USS Vella Gulf (CG 72). 
The contract – coupled with those for DDG 51 class, LPD 17 class and amphibious ships in Norfolk, San Diego, Hawaii and Jacksonville – reinforces BAE Systems’ trusted MSMO support for the US Navy, the British defence firm said.
