A California senior executive from Lompoc, Lloyd G. LeCain served in the Navy before launching his OCONUS (overseas construction) venture. In addition to running his business, Lloyd LeCain supports the U.S. Naval Institute (USNI), an organization that seeks to give voice to maritime subjects and people who serve in the military.
According to the USNI, the Navy awarded Newport News Shipbuilding a $3 billion contract to renovate the USS John C. Stennis. The contract will go toward the company performing a refueling and complex overall (RCOH), which is expected to begin in April of this year and be completed by August 2025. The USS Stennis is up for a mid-life availability, which will include removing the flight deck, gutting the ship and its computer and combat systems, overhauling the tanks, and rebuilding the ship so that it can finish the last 50 years of its service life. This extensive work will encompass modernizing or upgrading more than 2,300 compartments and hundreds of tanks and systems, as well as the propulsion plant, flight deck, combat system, island, and catapults. Newport News’ vice president Todd West said that the company was pleased to take on this project, a second award from the Navy. According to West, the team has spent three years planning and preparing for the project.
