HII expands partnership with Babcock International Group

HII (HII) and Babcock International Group signed a contract that expands their strategic partnership to further support Virginia-class submarine construction throughput at HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding division. Additionally, the contract will build resiliency within HII’s submarine supply base. This is the first Virginia-class outsourced contract to Babcock in support of NNS-specific submarine work, authorizing Babcock to build complex submarine assemblies at the Rosyth facility in Scotland for Virginia-class Block VI fast-attack submarines. The expansion of the partnership with Babcock will increase the number of suppliers that can perform large structure work with requisite quality.
