Electric Boat in Groton has landed a Navy contract worth as much as $12.2 million to perform maintenance and updates to the attack sub USS Miami, work that will employ as many as 200, the shipyard said Wednesday.
Under the modified $10.2 million contract, EB will do repairs, maintenance, alterations and testing to the Los Angeles-class attack boat. The work is set to be complete by August. If all contract options are exercised, the contract would be worth $12.2 million, EB said.
Electric Boat is a division of defense contracting giant General Dynamics.
Currently, EB is doing $87 million in repairs and maintenance to the USS Hartford, damaged in March 2009 in a collision with a U.S. Navy ship in the Persian Gulf.
