One of the fiercest naval battles in years broke out here today -- in an ornate Capitol Hill hearing room packed with admirals, lawmakers and lobbyists. The battle pits the United States' two submarine builders in a fight that will most likely leave only one standing. At stake is a $60 billion contract to build the Navy's new attack submarine, thousands of jobs in Connecticut and Virginia and an industrial hedge against a resurgent Russia or other future enemy.

The Sunbeam-Oster Company said yesterday that its second-quarter and 1995 earnings would not meet analysts' reduced estimates, because sales of its outdoor products had been slow as a result of bad weather. The company, which makes furniture, barbecue grills and household appliances, also said it planned to repurchase as many as five million shares, or 6 percent of its stock, during the next two years. Sunbeam-Oster, based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., said second-quarter earnings would be 30 cents to 34 cents a share, compared with 36 cents in the corresponding period last year. Some analysts lowered their estimates to 36 cents during the last week. Shares of Sunbeam-Oster rose 50 cents, to $19.125, on the New York Stock Exchange.

Shares of the Crop Growers Corporation plunged yesterday after an analyst for Dain Bosworth Inc. downgraded the stock on lower-than-expected earnings. Shares of Crop Growers, an insurer based in Great Falls, Mont., fell $11.625, to $12.625, in Nasdaq trading. On Monday Crop Growers reported first-quarter net income of $5.2 million, or 63 cents a share, compared with a pro forma loss of $368,000, or 9 cents a share. The company's stock started trading publicly last June. The analyst downgraded the stock to "hold" from "buy" because he said the lower share price reflected the value of the company. A spokeswoman for the company said "management believes it's well positioned to continue its growth in the crop insurance business."

Black, said the "necessary financing" for the transaction had been arranged.
