CMN NAVAL USA (V2 Concept) — American Shipbuilding for the American Century

Why We Are Here

Rebuilding America's Maritime Industrial Base

America's shipbuilding capacity is a national security imperative. CMN NAVAL USA exists to strengthen it — transferring proven platforms, modern automated production, and decades of allied naval expertise into a scalable, U.S.-owned and operated shipbuilding enterprise on the Gulf Coast.

Our Commitment

Built in America. Crewed by Americans. Trusted by the warfighter. This is not the shipbuilding of yesterday — it is a modern, allied-partnered foundation for U.S. naval dominance.

What We Build

Powering American Naval Innovation

An integrated shipbuilder offering a full spectrum of combat-proven platforms and lifecycle services — now establishing a domestic industrial footprint to serve U.S. operational needs.

01 / SHIPBUILDING

Warships & Patrol Vessels

High-speed interceptors, offshore patrol vessels, fast missile craft, corvettes, landing craft, and surveillance platforms — engineered to NATO and U.S. standards.

02 / AUTONOMY

Unmanned & Autonomous

Combat-ready USVs and unmanned interceptors with over-the-horizon command and control — autonomous transit, pattern autonomy, and dynamic collision avoidance.

03 / SUSTAINMENT

Lifecycle Support

Integrated logistics support, refit and conversion, combat-systems integration, and technology transfer to sustain readiness across the full service life.

Speed to Fleet

Sea-Proven Platforms, Not Paper Ships

Every platform we offer is already in service with allied navies. No clean-sheet risk, no decade of development — proven designs, transferred to American production.

Clean-sheet design risk — every platform is combat-proven and operating at sea today.

65+

HSI32 hulls delivered and operating with navies worldwide right now.

Months

To first steel cut through technology transfer — not years of development.

Advanced Naval Platforms

The Fleet

A combat-proven product range, marketable to U.S. Navy and Coast Guard mission profiles and ready for domestic production.
