This thesis presents, in a case study format, the conflict
between Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company
and the Navy over the execution of the option to build the
CGN-Ul. In the case, the reader is taken from the time of
the signing of the original contract in 1971 through the
events leading to the negotiated settlement reached by Mr.
Gordon Rule.
Emphasis is placed on Newport News' contention that this
option was invalid, the events leading to a work stoppage by
Newport News and a Federal District Court's order for both
parties to negotiate in good faith, and finally the events
leading to Mr. Rule's appointment and the validity of the
agreement by him with Newport News. Additional information
is provided as Technical Notes to the case, which include:
Shipbuilding in the U. S., Newport News, Ship Procurement and
Claims Procedures. A Teaching Note is provided to assist in
application of the case to a Ship Acquisition Management
course.
