U.S. Navy amphibious warfare and surface combatant ships home-ported in San Diego are to receive support services from General Dynamics NASSCO.

The maintenance, repair and modernization support work will be conducted under an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity Navy contract with a total potential value of $1.32 billion.

NASSCO is one of three companies to receive the contract.

General Dynamics said that in addition to support for home-ported vessels, the company will also be eligible to help modernize, maintain and repair Navy ships that dock in San Diego, including six classes of military combat and amphibious vessels.

"We look forward to the opportunity to work with the U.S. Navy in support of the modernization and repair efforts for the combatant and amphibious ships home-ported in the Port of San Diego," said Dave Carver, vice president and general manager for General Dynamics NASSCO's repair division.
