SHIPYARD Act

The SHIPYARD Act would provide $25 billion in emergency funding to modernize and upgrade the nation’s naval shipyards, which currently face significant maintenance backlogs and outdated infrastructure. This investment would be split between the four major public shipyards and various private facilities to build new dry docks, improve electrical systems, and purchase modern equipment. For citizens, this bill aims to strengthen national security by ensuring the U.S. Navy can maintain a larger, more modern fleet while supporting jobs in the domestic maritime and shipbuilding industries.
