The US Navy just spent three-quarters of a billion dollars on spy ships

The US Navy awarded a $746 million contract for the operations and maintenance of its T-AGOS and T-AGM fleet. This means a private company will now manage the daily running of these specialized surveillance ships.

The US Navy relies on these ships for undersea surveillance and missile tracking. This large contract ensures these critical assets stay operational for years. It also shows the government is willing to pay a premium for specialized private sector support in sensitive defense areas.
