Curtiss-Wright Completes Huntington Ingalls Industries Newport News Shipbuilding Contract

August 10, 2022

$2.25 Million Service & Repairs Onboard the USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74)

CHESWICK, PA – August 10, 2022 – Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) recently completed work on a $2.25 million contract supporting Huntington Ingalls Industries Newport News Shipbuilding. Fleet Solutions, a business unit of Curtiss-Wright’s EMS division, was contracted to disassemble, remove generator rotor armature, and perform initial stator inspections and repairs on one of the eight Ship Service Generator units onboard the USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), as well as clean, inspect, and perform follow-up repairs to the remaining seven units.

Fleet Solutions’ trained Field Service Engineers and Technicians allow Curtiss-Wright to provide field support across the active U.S. Navy fleet. Additionally, Fleet Solutions partners with public and private shipyards to provide the best in OEM field engineering support, including initial unit installation, scheduled service, and emergent repairs through the lifecycle of the vessel.

“Projects where we can provide support on our own nameplate products show the U.S. Navy that Curtiss-Wright is a full-lifecycle provider of some of the world’s most advanced systems,” said Greg Hempfling, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the EMS division. “Our technicians were able to meet our customer’s needs in a way that few other manufacturers can. This unique ability strengthens our long-standing relationship with the U.S. Navy and continues to provide new opportunities for collaboration with other defense companies.”

Fleet Solutions led the effort on the repairs and teamed with EMD, a business unit of the EMS division, and Siemens Test Group. EMD designed, manufactured, and qualified the Ship Service Generator units. The work was performed to the client’s satisfaction while meeting schedule and budget requirements.
