PORTLAND (AP) - The Navy agreed to a schedule change that bumps up construction of the first DDG-1000 Zumwalt class destroyer at Bath Iron Works, reducing an anticipated workload gap, Sen. Susan Collins said Tuesday. The stealthy DDG-1000 is the successor to the mainstay Arleigh Burke destroyers built at BIW and at Northrop Grumman's Ingalls shipyard in Mississippi. Both shipyards had been scheduled to build the lead ships - one apiece - but Ingalls had an edge in the construction schedule by getting delivery of materials first. Instead, the Navy will now send those construction materials to Bath. (more)
