A Beloit business scores another job for the US Navy.
Fairbanks Morse has been selected to build and deliver the main propulsion diesel engines that will power the Navy’s newest Freedom class Littoral Combat Ship.
Construction of the engines will begin later this year and they are scheduled to be delivered in 2019 to Marinette Marine Corporation.
Fairbanks Morse will then support installation and testing including sea trials for the vessel.
The company headquartered on White Avenue in Beloit has been providing diesel engines for the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy for more than 70 years.
