“[the] team received very strong endorsement at Design Review #2 placing us in an excellent position for [future phases of the project]. Based on the superb efforts of G&C, they are our trusted design agent for Detail Design and will perform a majority of the design work. … I have been involved in naval combatant ship design for 40 years and have never seen applause at a design review like we received at DR2. Well Done!”
