BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


The 1978 Navy Shipbuilding Claims

Settlement At Litton/Ingalls Shipbuilding--

Status As Of August 1, 1982


The 1979 Defense Appropriation Authoriza-
tion Act requires the Comptroller General to
review two contracts with Litton Systems,
Inc., Ingalls Shipbuilding Division, for build-
ing landing helicopter assault and DD-963
destroyer ships that were involved in a ship-
building claims settlement.

The review is to ensure that funds autho-
rized to pay for contract modifications made
in the interest of national defense are used
only on the two contracts and that the con-
tractor does not use such funds to realize
any total combined profit on these con-
tracts.

GAO found that the funds were being used
as intended. However, should all unpaid
construction costs and other funds retained
by the Navy be paid, some funds could then
become available for contractor use on pro-
jects other than the specified contracts.
Although Litton, at the time of the settle-
ment, projected a $200 million loss, it is
now in a position to realize a total combined
profit of $15 million on the two contracts,
payment of which GAO believes would be
contrary to limitations in the above act.
