A legacy that lives on.

Today, we honor those who courageously gave their lives in service to our nation.

"So, what are you doing next?"

That question hits different when you have a great answer. You're learning how to build submarines. Getting paid while you learn it. Growing while you do it. That's the kind of first job that opens doors.

We surprised Accelerated Training in Defense Manufacturing student Brandon Raymond at the Martinsville race to celebrate his commitment to the trades. Feeling inspired? Explore training programs and open roles on https://t.co/nRgVhBLlTm.

Commissioning = Complete

After years of construction and the work of thousands of dedicated shipbuilders, we can say hello to the USS Idaho (SSN-799) — now officially part of the U.S. Navy's fleet following a traditional commissioning ceremony at Naval Submarine Base New London.

That’s one way to break the ice.

Submarines are built to operate flawlessly in the most extreme weather environments.

You don’t have to live on the coast to build submarines.

Right now, thousands of companies across the country are hiring for open roles building the U.S. Navy's submarines. Whether you're ready for your next challenge or starting a new career, there's a role for you.

Think you can take the heat? You'll fit right in.

Submarine welders perform precise metalwork on submarines under high-stakes conditions. Their craftsmanship is critical as the vessel's integrity depends on airtight, pressure-resistant and structurally sound welds.

The machine is massive. The margins aren't.

Behind every submarine are thousands of moments like this: focus, precision and the discipline to get it right. Every time.

Shipbuilding careers are measured in decades.

The work doesn't stop when construction ends. Maintenance keeps submarines mission-ready, year after year.

A career working with lasers may not have been on your radar—but it could be.

Metrologists use high-precision 3D scanning systems to digitally capture the shape and dimensions of real parts, detecting the smallest deviations to ensure submarine components perform flawlessly.

And you thought parallel parking was hard?

When a submarine enters the dry dock for repairs, it's the thousands of builders who ensure the vessel returns to sea stronger than it arrived.

Imagine a vessel the length of a football field that needs to operate flawlessly underwater. Building something this complex requires skilled workers at every stage, from design to assembly.

No inch left untouched.

Welding the hull ensures submarines stay watertight at ocean depths.

Americans are designing and developing the parts that build the next-generation fleet—their craftsmanship and dedication will serve generations to come.

[Build Submarines @BuildSubmarines]

From part fabrication to shipyard assembly, America’s next-generation naval submarines are being built by thousands working together.

Through team work and determination, submarine builders turn blue prints into powerful vessels.

Precision isn’t the goal - it’s the standard. Expert technicians operate milling machines and 3D printers to craft scale models that are critical for testing and refining parts before a submarine goes into the water.
