$300 million invested in Franklin, Louisiana. 300,000 additional square feet of shipyard space. 330+ employees today and continuing to grow. The infrastructure and workforce to build autonomous ships at scale. We’re expanding our footprint in Franklin to meet the scale of the mission ahead. This is what investing in the future of American shipbuilding looks like.
