Monday, September 20, 2010

Sean Stackley, assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition said the Navy will work with Northrop Grumman and the state in preserving the current Avondale facilities and in preserving plans to upgrade these facilities should a future owner compete for and win future Navy work.
