The Department of Defense announced in May that the Navy has exercised a $553.8 million option to have Fin-cantieri Marinette Marine (FMM) build the second 496'x65' Constellation-class frigate. The Wisconsin shipyard is currently working with the Navy on the detailed design phase of the first-in-class Constellation (FFG-62), a modern guided-missile frigate based partially on the Italian FREMM. Fabrication is planned to start at the end of this year, and the ship is expected to be delivered to the Navy in 2026. |
