Anduril to Build $3.7B Maryland Shipyard for Virginia-Class Submarine Components

Anduril Industries will invest $3.7 billion in a new Maryland shipyard to produce major components for Virginia-class attack submarines, backed by a Navy contract worth up to $2.9 billion. This marks a significant expansion of a defense tech firm into traditional naval shipbuilding, potentially reshaping the submarine supply chain. The move underscores U.S. efforts to boost submarine production capacity amid strategic competition with China.
