The UK Ministry of Defence has confirmed its selection of Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) to serve as "physical integrator" for its £3 billion ($5.6 billion) future aircraft carrier (CVF) project. KBR will manage the construction and final assembly of the Royal Navy's two planned BAE Systems/Thales CVF vessels at shipyards around the UK, with the carriers expected to enter service in 2012 and 2015, respectively.
