The CEO of a heavy construction and engineering business, Lloyd G. LeCain provides clients (including military contractors) with outside of the Continental US construction. A former captain in the US Navy, Lloyd LeCain continues to support multiple military organizations, including the US Naval Institute.
The US Naval Institute recently announced the Navy has begun work on the hull of the future USS Constellation (FFG-62), the first ship of a new Navy ship class in over 10 years. The total cost to build the ship is estimated at $1.28 billion, and work is expected to conclude in fiscal year 2026. The new Navy ship class has a multi-mission character thanks to dynamic features. When fully loaded, it displaces approximately 7,300 tons and requires a crew of approximately 200. The radar system is based on AN/SPY-6 radar, and, for combat, the ship has an Aegis Baseline 10 combat system, a vertical launch system with 32 cells, and 16 naval strike missiles. The design also takes into account future equipment and technology updates. Following the construction of the USS Constellation, the Navy predicts future ships will cost between $800 and $950 million to produce.
