Nokakovic: Ohio replacement program 'kind of blocks the sun for us'

摘要

General Dynamics is ramping up its work on the Ohio-class replacement program, a Navy initiative so large that the contractor's chief executive joked last week that it "kind of blocks the sun for us." "This is a very important program for us -- now and growing in the future," Phebe Novakovic said at Sanford C. Bernstein's June 3 strategic decisions conference in New York. "This is a $100 billion program, and we are the prime." As Inside Defense has reported, Navy leaders do not yet have a plan for how to finance the Ohio replacement program along with its conventional portfolio.
