General Dynamics Electric Boat
On 19 April, "Hartford" began a surface transit back to the U.S. for further repair, arriving two months later. After reaching home port, the U.S. Navy made three repair contracts with General Dynamics Electric Boat for a total of $102.6 million. The repairs included the installation of a hull patch and a bridge access trunk, along with a portside retractable bow plane and sail. The final cost was $120 million when "Hartford" returned to duty in February, 2011.
