| Description: | This Title III project shall help maintain and expand domestic production capability of thick Navy-grade steel plate used in the construction of Navy submarines and aircraft carriers. In addition to ensuring the aforementioned critical capability, the Defense Production Act Title III program’s investment can potentially yield ancillary benefits. Potential benefits to the Navy as a result of upgrading outdated steel production facilities, tooling, and processes include reduced overhead costs related with the manufacturer’s maintenance of aging resources, and lower costs associated with non-value added re-work for shipbuilders. Attention will be paid to enhancing merchant supplier capabilities in order to effectively serve the broad DoD and non-DoD communities. |
