The aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman is set to begin its multiyear midlife overhaul, which will set the vessel up for the second half of its 50-year service life.
The giant aircraft carrier, which was commissioned in 1998, departed Naval Station Norfolk on Wednesday and arrived the same day at HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding, where it will begin its Refueling and Complex Overhaul. This week, the Navy announced it awarded HII a fixed-ceiling incentive contract for the RCOH worth up to slightly more than $5.1 billion for the renovations.
