Mar. 23, 2009 4:58 p.m. | Marinette Marine has been awarded a U.S. Navy contract to build another combat ship similar to the USS Freedom launched last fall.
The award, for an unspecified amount of money, is expected to prevent 200 previously announced layoffs at the Marinette shipyard, and another 100 layoffs which were being considered.
The 170 employees laid off in the fall will not be recalled as a result of the contract, but it does open the door to their recall once additional commercial contracts are received by Marinette Marine, the company said in a news release.
Congress approved $1.02 billion for the Navy to purchase two Littoral Combat Ships for Fiscal Year 2009. "
