Es bewegt sich langsam etwas: Nachdem im April der Zuschlag für den Auftrag an Fincantieri/Marinette Marine gegangen (was ich recht interessant finde, ist, dass Austal offenbar rausgeflogen ist) war, hat der Kongress nun seine Zustimmung für die Finanzierung des Baus für die erste Einheit im Rahmen des laufenden Jahres gegeben...

The Navy’s proposed FY2021 budget requests $1,053.1 million (i.e., about $1.1 billion) for the procurement of the second FFG(X). The Navy estimates that subsequent ships in the class will cost roughly $940 million each in then-year dollars. [...]

F/MM was awarded a fixed-price incentive (firm target) contract for Detail Design and Construction (DD&C) for up to 10 ships in the program—the lead ship plus nine option ships.
Under the DD&C contact awarded to F/MM, Navy has the option of recompeting the FFG(X) program after the lead ship (if none of the nine option ships are exercised), after the 10th ship (if all nine of the option ships are exercised), or somewhere in between (if some but not all of the nine option ships are exercised). [...] As part of its action on the Navy’s FY2020 budget, Congress passed two legislative provisions relating to U.S. content requirements for certain components of each FFG(X). [...]
