@iamwillcannon: Anduril is bringing shipbuilding back to Sparrows Point a spot its CEO says helped build the fleet that won World War Two and this time the yard is designed to be a software defined shipyard Meet Arsenal-2 Andurils new shipyard near Baltimore The building alone will cover about forty football fields according to Anduril and the company is paying for it with three point seven billion dollars of its own money And the Navy needs submarines faster Arsenal-2 will make parts for the Navys Virginia class nuclear submarines starting with components like torpedo tubes and later moving on to larger sections The finished submarines will still be put together at the existing shipyards but Andurils argument is that more suppliers working at the same time means more submarines can be built And the Navys money is tied to results On top of Andurils money the Navy gave it a contract worth up to two point nine billion dollars with payments tied to what the shipyard produces Anduril says the yard will create about three thousand one hundred direct jobs But the craziest part Arsenal-2 wont start operating until twenty thirty and President Trump called it the largest new shipyard in the United States A company known for drones and software is now betting billions that it can help rebuild the way America builds submarines Hashtags: #Anduril #Arsenal2 #SparrowsPoint
