“The 650 will deliver at high margins and the 800 will come in at higher margins than the 700 because it's not carrying as much burden as the 700 for a slot of 700.”

Operator: We'll take our next question from Sheila Kahyaoglu at Jefferies. Sheila Kahyaoglu: Good morning, Phebe or Kim, maybe two follow-ups, if I can, both on margins, one on Aerospace and one on Marine.

So these are all, I think, beneficial to us. And you had a question on the Marine margins? Sheila Kahyaoglu: Yes, please. I just thought your prepared remarks mentioned the government and working with them a lot more. So I was wondering over the last quarter or two, what's really changed, whether it was the higher in cadence, the investment required from GD or is the government customer working closer with you to support the marine build-out.
