On Thursday, a Navy official said a deal had been agreed upon by the Navy and the shipyards. When you start the beginning, because the end is not coming out, you're not going to change the scenario.” “That's part of what we're really working with the Navy on-to get advanced funding to those suppliers who are already struggling with workforce, etcetera, is key if we're going to, in two or three or five years later, actually increase our throughput rate. “In order for the assembly line to get healthy and to begin to increase the rate, the worst thing we can do as an enterprise is starve the beginning” of the supply chain,” Boykin said May 5.

Navy has settled an insurance dispute with two key shipbuilding companies that has delayed the ordering of two Virginia-class submarines, according to people familiar with the matter.
