The U.S. Navy has awarded Electric Boat an $8.8 million order under an existing contract to support engineering and design services for the Ohio Replacement Program, the next-generation strategic deterrent submarine.

Electric Boat is a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics.

The award modifies a $76 million contract announced in December 2008 for engineering, technical services, concept studies and design of a Common Missile Compartment for the next-generation ballistic missile submarines being developed for the Royal Navy and the U.S. Navy.

If all options are exercised and funded, the overall contract would have a value of more than $652 million.
