Within its first 40 days as NNS Charleston Operations, the South Carolina team was able to deliver its first unit and exceeded its production targets for 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are crucial as we continue to ramp up submarine and carrier shipbuilding,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navsea.navy.mil\/Media\/Biographies\/Article-View\/Article\/3080884\/rear-adm-jonathan-rucker\/\">Rear Adm. Jonathan Rucke<\/a>r, program executive officer, attack submarines, told shipbuilders at the town hall. \u201cPart of increasing shipbuilding is what we call distributed shipbuilding or outsourcing, (which means) leveraging the people here and those around the country to be able to increase our capacity to build the submarines and aircraft carriers and ships that our nation needs. I can\u2019t thank you enough for what you do day in and day out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NNS Charleston Operations is located on 45 acres along the Cooper River with more than 480,000 square feet of covered manufacturing space. It is strategically located within South Carolina\u2019s rapidly growing maritime ecosystem, having both barge and rail access, capacity to expand, and growing access to the highly skilled maritime trades workforce.<\/p>\n<p>The work underway in South Carolina is part of HII\u2019s distributed shipbuilding initiative to increase shipbuilding throughput and meet the increased demand for ships. In addition to NNS Charleston Operations, HII is partnering with 23 shipyards and fabricators beyond the company\u2019s traditional labor market. HII also forged partnerships with international manufacturers to explore meaningful ways to expand capacity, including evaluation of adding an additional shipyard in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/shipbuilding\/shipyards\/shipyard-news\/nns-charleston-operations-celebrates-its-first-anniversary\/\">NNS Charleston Operations celebrates its first anniversary<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/\">Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Marine Log Staff<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/shipbuilding\/shipyards\/shipyard-news\/nns-charleston-operations-celebrates-its-first-anniversary\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=nns-charleston-operations-celebrates-its-first-anniversary\">Go to marinelog<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NNS Charleston Operations celebrates its first anniversary HII (NYSE: HII) last week marked the first anniversary of its Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) Charleston Operations in Goose Creek, S.C.
