WASHINGTON (Jan. 31, 2019) -- Ryan Daniels, Naval Sea Systems Command contracting officer; Rear Adm. Brian Antonio, program executive officer for Aircraft Carriers; Jennifer Boykin, executive vice president, Huntington Ingalls Industries - Newport News Shipbuilding (HII-NNS); Christie Thomas, HII-NNS and Capt. Philip Malone, program manager, PMS 379, gather after the award of a contract action to procure both the future USS Enterprise (CVN 80) and unnamed CVN 81 in a ceremony at the Washington Navy Yard. The multi-carrier contracting strategy, used successfully for Nimitz-class aircraft carriers in the 1980s, keeps the Navy on the path to a bigger, more lethal fleet while maximizing industry's efficiency and leveraging important lessons learned so far in building the next generation of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the Gerald R. Ford class. (U.S. Navy Photo by Laura Lakeway/Released
