HII Wins a $5.1 Billion Overhaul of the Carrier Harry S. Truman as It Arrives at Newport News
- HII's Newport News Shipbuilding was awarded $5,099,973,132 for the refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) of USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), rising to $5,183,380,744 if the options are exercised[1]
- The work covers refueling the reactors, modernizing thousands of compartments and tanks, and major upgrades to the propulsion plant and combat systems[3]
- Truman arrived at the yard on 30 September 2026; the shipyard will blast and paint the hull, repair propellers, sea chests, shafts and rudders, and defuel and refuel the power plant[2]
- It is the eighth Nimitz-class carrier to undergo RCOH at Newport News, which built her: she was christened in 1996 and delivered in 1998[1]
- An RCOH is about one-third of all the maintenance and modernization a carrier gets in a service life expected to span more than 50 years[2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
