It'll create 3,100 new permanent jobs, and support over 14,000 jobs overall. America has really slipped in our shipbuilding capacity over recent decades.
We need 500 hulls IN SERVICE IMO
Nick Sortor's post accurately reports President Trump's announcement of Anduril Industries' $3.7 billion private investment in Arsenal-2, a 2-million-square-foot shipyard at Maryland's historic Sparrows Point site to produce Virginia-class submarine components.
The project includes a up-to-$2.9 billion Navy contract for a $6.6 billion total, creating 3,100 direct jobs and supporting over 14,000 overall, with initial operations planned for 2030 and a focus on expanding U.S. attack submarine production capacity.
Located at the former Bethlehem Steel complex, it represents the largest private investment and job creator in Maryland in over a decade, backed by state incentives and praised for revitalizing American shipbuilding after decades of decline. Grok
