WASHINGTON: When House and Senate members finally come together after the election to hash out the delayed 2021 budget, they’ll face a new challenge from the Navy: find hundreds of millions of dollars to wrap up work on its newest aircraft carrier.

On Monday evening, the Navy awarded Newport News Shipbuilding a contract valued at up to $315 million for modifications to the USS John F. Kennedy so it can operate F-35C fighters. Normally, such deals would be a routine contract modification, buried amid the billions the Pentagon contracts for on any given day.
