The U.S. Navy intends to award Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. a contract early next year, potentially for more than $4 billion, to build the second of a new class of aircraft carriers.
“The Navy is still negotiating with the company to reach a fair and reasonable price, and we hope to do that as soon as possible,” Commander Thurraya Kent, a spokeswoman for the service, said in an e-mail. “Early 2015 is still” the intended contract award date, she said this week.
