The bill would give a pay raise troops and fund a second Virginia-class attack submarine. Author: Mike Gooding Updated: 6:05 PM EST December 16, 2020
WASHINGTON The $740 billion National Defense Authorization Act contains good tidings of great joy for Hampton Roads, most importantly: full funding for a second Virginia Class submarine to be constructed in part at Newport News Shipbuilding, and a three percent pay raise for every man and woman in the military.
President Donald Trump has until December 23 to sign or veto the defense bill.
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnaney said Tuesday that Trump planned to veto it.
The President has said he opposes the bill because it would require the renaming of ten Army bases named for Confederate figures from the Civil War.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Dec. 11, 2020 Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (NYSE: HII) Newport News Shipbuilding division hosted a keel authentication ceremony today for
Virginia-class attack submarine
Massachusetts (SSN 798). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was held virtually, without an audience.
“This construction milestone is typically a small ceremony with shipbuilders and the submarine’s crew in attendance,” said Jennifer Boykin, president of Newport News Shipbuilding. “Given the current COVID-19 environment and the precautions it requires, today’s event is smaller than usual in scope, but not in importance.”
