The British Defence Secretary John Hutton has announced that the MoD will purchase a first batch of three F-35 JSF fighter aircraft in 2009. Two aircraft will be delivered in 2011 and one in 2012. The aircraft will represent the UK's contribution to the Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) phase of the JSF programme, and the UK MoD is expected to make a decision about further purchases when the evaluation of the IOT&E has been completed.rnThe US Navy has awarded a Lockheed Martin-led industry team a fixed-price, incentive fee contract to construct the Navy's third Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), to be named USS FORT WORTH.
