Austal USA’s Mobile shipyard just landed a $450 million contract to support the construction of submarines for the U.S. Navy.
This marks a major milestone for both the shipyard and the local economy.
The project brings new jobs, cutting-edge facilities, and an exciting role for Mobile in boosting national defense efforts.
More Jobs and Growth for Mobile
One of the best parts of this development?
Austal’s contract will bring 1,000 new jobs to Mobile by 2026.
The company plans to build a 369,600-square-foot facility to handle submarine modules—huge pieces of submarines that will be shipped off to complete construction.
This expansion is a significant boost for Mobile’s economy, not just through job creation, but by positioning our city as a key player in advanced shipbuilding.
These new opportunities will allow local workers to thrive and ensure Mobile stays at the forefront of innovation.
