Past Tense

The state of the company seems to be in the past tense in this article, even though its future is secured.

CVF Carrier Contract

The Information given about the future carrier contract is incorrect, as Swan Hunter has been given a £3bn contract to construct the two new carriers in partnership with BAE Systems Marine. http://www.bbc.co.uk/tees/360/swannindex.shtml
