  This Amendment No. 11 (Final Amendment) amends and supplements the Tender
Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 dated March 14, 1994 (the "Schedule 14D-1"),
of Northrop Acquisition, Inc. (the "Purchaser") and Northrop Corporation
("Northrop"), as amended, filed in connection with the Purchaser's offer to
purchase all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per
share, of Grumman Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Company"), and the
associated preferred stock purchase rights, as set forth in the Schedule 14D-1,
as amended (the "Offer").     
          
  Item 6 of the Schedule 14D-1 is hereby amended by adding the following:     
   
ITEM 6. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE SUBJECT COMPANY.     
   
  At 12:00 midnight, New York City Time, on April 15, 1994, the Offer expired.
Based on information provided by the Depositary, a total of 31,585,201 Shares
(or approximately 90.81% of the Shares outstanding) were properly tendered and
not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. The Purchaser has accepted for payment,
and has notified the Depositary to promptly pay for, all such Shares at the
purchase price of $62 per Share in cash.     
   
  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a Special Meeting of Shareholders of the
Company is expected to be held on or about May 18, 1994, at which the
shareholders will consider and vote upon the Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby (the "Merger Proposal"). Northrop and the
Purchaser intend to vote all Shares held by them in favor of the Merger
Proposal. It is anticipated that the Merger will be consummated shortly after
the Special Meeting of Shareholders, as a result of which the Company will
become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northrop and each outstanding Share (other
than Shares held in the treasury of the Company and Shares held by Northrop and
its subsidiaries, which will be cancelled, and Shares as to which shareholders
shall have properly asserted dissenters' rights under the New York Business
Corporation Law) will be converted into the right to receive $62 per Share in
cash.
