How much will repairs from fire on Gerald R. Ford Carrier cost? 17.5 million dollars

begin quotes:

Repairs for the fire damage on the USS Gerald R. Ford are expected to cost $17.57 million. 

The Pentagon awarded a contract to General Dynamics for this emergent maintenance work, which is being handled at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia. The contract covers repairs for the charred laundry facilities and smoke-damaged berths that resulted from the severe onboard fire, and is expected to be completed by March 2027. 

If you are interested, I can provide additional details on:

• The parallel upgrades being made to the ship's plumbing/sanitation system
• A timeline of the deployment and the operational impacts
