General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp. in Groton, CT received a $10 million cost-plus-fixed-fee modification under a previously awarded Basic Ordering Agreement (N00024-05-G-4417) for execution of the Improved Los Angeles Class SSN attack sub USS Charlotte [SSN 766] depot modernization period, and the USS Georgia [SSBN 729] engineered refueling overhaul. Note that the USS Georgia’s overhaul is part of her conversion from an SSBN nuclear missile submarine to an SSGN stealth strike platform.

Work will take place in Norfolk, VA (99%) and Groton, CT (1%), and is expected to be complete by September 2006. Contract funds will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. The Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair in Groton, CT issued the modification.
