New Maryland defence shipyard gets US$6.6bil commitment
At a ceremony attended by US president Donald Trump, Anduril unveiled plans for a US$3.7 billion shipyard in Maryland that is expected to generate 3,100 jobs.
US President Donald Trump announced a $3.7 billion shipyard commitment in Maryland on Tuesday, in a ceremony at Anduril Industries' Tradepoint Atlantic event. The high-tech shipyard, located at Sparrows Point near Baltimore Port, will create 3,100 jobs and produce components for the Navy's Virginia-class submarines, valued at up to $6.6 billion.
Trump emphasized the shipyard's role in building the next generation of American submarines, including torpedo tubes and critical parts. Maryland governor Wes Moore, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, pledged up to $481 million in local funds to match the investment. The US already owns four shipyards for repair and maintenance, not construction.
This project brings Trump in alignment with Maryland and Baltimore County, both frequent critics of his policies. The election season has seen Trump emphasizing job creation and manufacturing revival through industrial policies and tariffs.
