HII is Awarded Contract to Execute USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) Refueling and Complex Overhaul

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HII (NYSE: HII) announced today that its Newport News Shipbuilding division has been awarded a $5,099,973,132 contract for the refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) of nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). The contract includes options which, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value of this contract to $5,183,380,744.

“Our team has been diligently working to get ahead on this critical engineering and construction project that will prepare USS Harry S. Truman for the second half of her service life,” said Bryan Caccavale, NNS vice president of program management. “When the ship arrives at NNS, we’ll apply that same diligence to working with our suppliers and Navy partners to ensure a successful recapitalization of CVN 75.”

The RCOH represents nearly a third of all maintenance and modernization in an aircraft carrier's service life. Truman’s RCOH will include refueling the ship’s reactors, as well as extensive modernization work in thousands of compartments and tanks, as well as on most ship systems. In addition, major upgrades will be made in the propulsion plant and combat systems.

Built at NNS, CVN 75 was christened in 1996 and delivered to the Navy in 1998. USS Harry S. Truman will be the eighth Nimitz-class carrier to undergo RCOH at NNS.
