Warren, MA -- CIRCOR International (NYSE: CIR) today announced that it was awarded six contracts totaling $18M to provide ball valves for Block V of the Virginia Class Submarine program. The six shipsets of valves will be delivered over the next three years. CIRCOR has supplied valves for the Virginia Class submarine since the program began over 20 years ago.
