WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) is being awarded a $451 million contract modification to a previously awarded contract for material and detail design in support of the construction of four Multi Mission Surface Combatant ships, the Pentagon said on Monday.

The contract involves foreign military sales to Saudi Arabia, the Pentagon said.
