Navy's Enterprise-Doris Miller carrier contract offers gains to suppliers and taxpayers - U.S.

(Tribune News Service) — Over the past two months, watching the price of copper climb by nearly $1 a pound to just under $4.50 — a 26% rise — Phil Jiannine says he can tell the Navy’s decision to make a two-ship buy for the carriers Enterprise and Doris Miller will be a good deal for taxpayers.
He is the sales director at W&O Supply in Norfolk — one of the more than 2,000 companies in 46 states that, along with thousands of workers at Newport News Shipbuilding, have a big stake in what Congress decides about how much money to spend on building and overhauling aircraft carriers. For those companies, their top priority now is to encourage Congress to appropriate the $2.3 billion necessary to keep work on the Enterprise-Doris Miller contract on track next year.
