BAE Systems wins USD 98 million US Navy shiprepair contracts in San Diego

BAE Systems has secured two US Navy contracts worth a combined USD 98 million, equivalent to about EUR 90.2 million at current exchange rates, to carry out scheduled maintenance on USS Kansas City and USS Stockdale at BAE’s Maritime Solutions San Diego facility.
The USD 37 million contract for USS Kansas City, a 2,550-tonne Independence-class littoral combat ship, will see the vessel enter drydock in May 2026. The scope includes underwater hull preservation, upgrades to onboard systems and refurbishment of living spaces for the crew of 41.
USS Stockdale, a 9,200-tonne Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, will undergo work under a separate USD 61 million contract, also starting in May 2026. Planned tasks include hull preservation, superstructure reconditioning, refurbishment of interior fuel and ballast tanks, and upgrades to crew accommodation.
Eric Icke, vice-president and general manager of BAE Systems Maritime Solutions San Diego, said: “Our team looks forward to executing the scheduled maintenance work aboard the Kansas City and Stockdale. Working alongside Navy personnel and our subcontractor teammates, our shipyard team will apply our Navy shiprepair expertise to ensure both ships return to the fleet capable to fulfil our nation’s requirements.”
