MARINETTE - The recent announcement of a $585 billion defense policy bill to counter Islamic State militants in Iraq means good news for a Wisconsin-based naval construction company.
The office of U.S. Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan says the bi-partisan agreement between the House and Senate includes funding for three littoral combat ships instead of two. Marinette Marine and a Louisiana shipyard will be responsible for the construction of the ships. But it's still unclear which company will receive a contract for two of the three ships.
