Todd gets aircraft carrier contract

Todd Shipyards Corp., which provides repair work for US government ships, has won a five-year contract from the US Navy to overhaul and maintain four aircraft carriers in the Puget Sound. The company said the total value of the contract, which consists of multiple options, would not be known until the work under each option is defined.

The work includes non-nuclear ship repair, alternation and maintenance, and will be performed by subsidiary Todd Pacific Shipyards or its subcontractors, the company said.
