Our View: Navy changes rules, so BIW loses work
You can't blame Bath Iron Works for a decision that under former Pentagon rules would increase its chances of getting contracts to build more of a new class of warships. <br /><br /> But when the U.S. Navy changed those rules in a way that seems to block BIW from bidding on any of those vessels, that's a move that puts national security in second place. <br /><br /> BIW has apparently lost out on the opportunity to build any "littoral" combat ships, designed for shallow coastal waters. C'est la vie, some would say. But that ignores BIW's reputation as the country's best shipyard for vessels of a similar size and purpose.
