Arsenal-2 shipbuilding facility development in Maryland

Overview

The United States government and private sector have announced plans to reintroduce shipbuilding capabilities to Sparrows Point, Maryland, through the development of a new facility named Arsenal-2.

Initially introduced by President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the project involves a 2-million-square-foot facility on a 187-acre site designed to manufacture critical components for Virginia-class submarines.

Anduril Industries has since detailed the scope of the project, describing it as a $3.7 billion private capital investment paired with a US Navy contract worth up to $2.9 billion. This $6.6 billion public-private venture aims to address manufacturing bottlenecks and is expected to provide a 15% capacity boost to the national nuclear shipbuilding industrial base.

The shipyard, located in the Tradepoint Atlantic industrial complex, will feature a 1,200-foot graving dock and direct rail access. While full Maryland operations are projected to begin around 2030, Anduril intends to start delivering components, such as torpedo tubes, from its Costa Mesa site by 2028. The project is estimated to create 3,100 direct jobs and support over 11,000 indirect positions, generating an estimated $2 billion in annual economic output.
