@theinformant.com: 🇺🇸⚓️ TRUMP UNVEILS $6.6 BILLION PUSH TO BUILD MORE U.S. SUBMARINES A historic Maryland shipbuilding site is getting a multibillion-dollar comeback. On October 6, 2026, President Donald Trump highlighted Anduril’s new Arsenal-2 project at Sparrows Point: $3.7 billion in private investment, a Navy contract worth up to $2.9 billion and more than 3,100 permanent jobs. The massive facility is designed to produce parts — and eventually major sections — for Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarines. The stakes go beyond jobs. The U.S. has struggled to build Virginia-class submarines at the planned two-per-year rate, with recent production running closer to 1.1–1.2 annually. Arsenal-2 is expected to begin operations in 2030 as Washington tries to break that bottleneck and rebuild domestic naval manufacturing capacity. #DonaldTrump #Anduril #USNavy #Maryland #TheInformant
