HII said on Sept. 29, 2026 that its Newport News Shipbuilding division had been awarded a $5,099,973,132 contract for the refueling and complex overhaul of nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75).

The company said options in the deal, if exercised, would take the cumulative value to $5,183,380,744.

According to HII, the work will include refueling the ship’s reactors, extensive modernization in thousands of compartments and tanks, and upgrades to most ship systems. It also said major upgrades will be made in the propulsion plant and combat systems.

HII said the refueling and complex overhaul represents nearly a third of all maintenance and modernization in an aircraft carrier’s service life. The company said USS Harry S. Truman was built at Newport News Shipbuilding, christened in 1996 and delivered to the Navy in 1998, and that it will be the eighth Nimitz-class carrier to undergo this work at the yard.
