	Litton to Acquire Avondale
		Litton outbid Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) for acquisition of Avondale, but Litton's own bid for acquisition of NNS remained in doubt after officials in the Department of Defense expressed opposition to the proposed merger.
		Litton's simultaneous but separate bids for both Avondale--which builds amphibious warfare and auxiliary ships--and Newport News Shipbuilding--which builds nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines--came on the heels of the NNS bid for Avondale, as well as a General Dynamics bid for NNS that failed in the face of government opposition.
		Litton's acquisition of Avondale leaves only three major corporations in control of the six major U.S. shipbuilding companies that have survived the post-Cold War downsizing: NNS; General Dynamics (Bath Iron Works, Electric Boat, and National Steel and Shipbuilding Company); and Litton (Ingalls and Avondale).

		Litton Ship Systems is a new Corporate Group within Litton Industries formed coincident with the August 1999 merger of Ingalls Shipbuilding and Avondale Industries.
		The consolidation of Ingalls and Avondale makes good business sense at a time when rapid industry consolidation was, and still is, underway and in an environment where the way in which the Navy procures ships is changing significantly.
		LSS is doing its part in aggressively responding to a changing environment, a consolidating industry, a very tight labor market and a demand for new skills and sophisticated and affordable ships.
