The LARGEST new shipyard in the United States. 🚢🇺🇸

Today we're officially launching the construction of the largest new shipyard in the United States. This is since World War II. There's been nothing like what we're doing today.

The workers of Baltimore and the shipyard here at Sparrows Point have been a vital part of the American industrial strength for literally over a hundred years. Then along these very shores, American tradesmen built one of the first frigots in the US Navy. They forged the steel that built the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge.

And this is where the patriots of Baltimore built the first ever Liberty ship in the Second World War. There's a tremendous history. I flew over it just now.

And boy, it's a great piece of being a real estate developer initially, always have. I said, "That's a nice piece of real estate." And it's big. This is going to be some big yard.

When I came into office for my second term less than two years ago, this national treasure was abandoned and it was totally forgotten. But it's not forgotten any longer. In a tremendous victory for our country and for the city of Baltimore, Anderil is investing $3.7 billion in a state-of-the-art shipyard that will be known forever as Arsenal 2.

It's one of one of the most uh one of the biggest and one of the most significant shipyards I think soon very soon we'll be anywhere in the world will be as significant as any. That's what we're looking for right here in Sparrows Point. You'll build the next generation of American submarines including autonomous subs, torpedo tubes and critical components for our cutting edge Virginia class attack submarines.

the greatest and quietest ever built. And thanks to record funding from my administration, the Republicans in Congress, the US Navy is also contributing an additional $2.9 billion to support the shipyard with the possibility of ultimately together with a lot of great patriots $21 billion in future purchases.
