Fairbanks Morse Defense is continuing their long history with the US Navy by being awarded a new five year contract.
CEO Georgie Whittier says the contract is valued at $90 million and will make Fairbanks the sole source of engineering and technical support of diesel engines on the Navy’s LCS ships.
Whittier says this contract is extra special because the type of ships they’ll be working on are the exact type of ship as the USS Beloit, a recently christened ship named after the city Fairbanks has called home for more than 100 years.
Whittier says approximately 80% of US Navy ships with a medium speed power application are powered by Fairbanks Morse Defense.
