BAE shipyard in Norfolk suing Navy for $1.2M for work done on USS Bataan

A shipyard in Norfolk is suing the U.S. Navy in federal court, saying the military branch is refusing to pay for work the shipyard performed on the USS Bataan.

BAE Systems Norfolk Ship Repair Inc. filed a civil complaint Sept. 11 alleging the Navy had refused to pay BAE and its subcontractors “for work the Navy cannot dispute they performed.”

BAE is demanding nearly $1.2 million to fulfill the contract.
