Curtiss-Wright Corporation announced that it has been awarded contracts valued at approximately $120 million when fully funded to provide generators for the U.S. Navy’s next-generation Columbia-class submarine. The Columbia-class submarine will replace the fleet of Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines. The lead ship is scheduled to be delivered to the Navy in 2027. Curtiss-Wright is performing this work at its Cheswick, Pennsylvania facility within the Company’s Naval & Power Segment.
“We are very proud to have been chosen by Northrop Grumman to provide generators for this significant U.S. nuclear naval defense platform. The Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) program is the U.S. Navy’s top priority to maintain the nation’s force structure, and Curtiss-Wright’s selection for this award reflects our long-standing commitment to and our ongoing support of the U.S. Navy’s most critical platforms,” said Lynn M. Bamford, President and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation.
