     This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D
originally filed on December 11, 2001 by Northrop Grumman Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("Northrop Grumman") with respect to the common stock,
par value $0.01 per share, including the associated preferred stock
purchase rights (such shares and such rights, together, the "Newport News
Common Stock") of Newport News Shipbuilding Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Newport News"). Notwithstanding this Amendment No. 1, the Schedule 13D
speaks as of its date.

     The items of the Schedule 13D set forth below are hereby amended as
follows:

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

     Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following:

     On January 18, 2002, Newport News was merged with and into Purchaser
Corp. I, a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of
Northrop Grumman (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, Newport News
ceased to exist as a corporation and all of the business, assets,
liabilities and obligations of Newport News were merged into Purchaser
Corp. I, with Purchaser Corp. I as the surviving corporation (the
"Surviving Corporation").

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following:

     As a result of the Merger, Northrop Grumman is the beneficial owner of
all the outstanding shares of Newport News. See Item 4.
