\n NASSCO currently under contract to build 17 of the Navy’s 20-ship program of record, and has delivered four to date.<\/i>\n <\/p>\n

\n SAN DIEGO<\/span>
\n <\/span>, Nov. 10, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — General Dynamics\u00a0NASSCO, a business unit of General Dynamics (NYSE:GD), announced today that it has been awarded $1.7 billion<\/span> for the construction of T-AO 215 and T-AO 216. The ships are part of NASSCO’s current multi-ship contract<\/a> from the U.S. Navy for the construction of up to eight additional John Lewis-class fleet replenishment oilers (T-AO 214 through 221).<\/p>\n

“The T-AO program holds significant importance to the men and women of NASSCO and is one we take great pride in \u2013 it’s the longest running Navy production series in NASSCO history,” said\u00a0Dave Carver, president of General Dynamics NASSCO. “The timely funding for these two ships will act to stabilize the workforce by sustaining an important backlog and prevent future layoffs. Our entire NASSCO team is honored to continue to support the critical national security mission of the U.S. Navy.”<\/p>\n

In 2016, the Navy awarded NASSCO with a contract to design and build the first six ships in the next generation of fleet oilers, the John Lewis-class. In 2022, that contract was modified to add an additional three oilers (T-AO 211 \u2013 213). In 2024 NASSCO received an additional eight-ship contract to build T-AOs 10-17.<\/p>\n

Designed to transfer fuel to U.S. Navy ships operating at sea, the 742-feet vessels have a full load displacement of 49,850 tons, capacity to carry 162,000 barrels of oil and significant amounts of dry cargo, as well as providing aviation capability while traveling at speeds up to 20 knots.<\/p>\n

The first four ships of the program have been delivered to the U.S. Navy, with five additional T-AOs currently under construction in the NASSCO shipyard.<\/p>\n

General Dynamics NASSCO specializes in the design and construction of Navy and commercial ships and is a major provider of repair services for the U.S. Navy, with capabilities in\u00a0San Diego, California;\u00a0Norfolk, Virginia;\u00a0Mayport, Florida<\/span>; and\u00a0Bremerton, Washington<\/span>. It is a business unit of General Dynamics, a global aerospace and defense company that offers a broad portfolio of products and services in business aviation; ship construction and repair; land combat vehicles, weapons systems and munitions; and technology products and services.
