SEATTLE, WASHINGTON...March 16, 2005... Todd Shipyards Corporation (NYSE:TOD) announced
today that the U.S. Navy has awarded to its wholly owned subsidiary, Todd Pacific Shipyards
Corporation ("Todd Pacific" or the "Company"), a $19,391,989 modification to previously awarded
contract N00024-04-C-4152 in support of repairs and alterations performed during the Dry-Docked
Planned Incremental Availability ("DPIA") of the USS John C. Stennis ("Stennis") aircraft carrier
(CVN-74). The contract modification, which is associated with the Navy's exercise of an option
under the contract, provides for the alteration and repair of ship's systems, shipboard equipment
and ship hull preservation. This is the second modification to the Stennis overhaul contract.
The Company had previously announced a $28,727,735 modification on February 14, 2005. The work
will be accomplished at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington and is expected
to be completed in December 2005.
The DPIA of the Stennis is being performed pursuant to the Company's five-year Planned Incremental
Availability ("PIA") contract with the Navy for the overhaul and continued maintenance of the
aircraft carriers stationed at Bremerton and Everett, Washington. The cost-type PIA contract
was originally awarded to Todd Pacific in 1999 for five years and was awarded again in 2004
for an additional five years.
Todd Pacific performs a substantial amount of repair and maintenance work on commercial
and federal government vessels engaged in various seagoing trade activities in the Pacific
Northwest. Its customers include the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Washington State
Ferry system and various other commercial and governmental customers. Todd has operated a
shipyard in Seattle since 1916.
