Wow. Share with your kids. Especially now.

Situated on 835 acres with the option to expand to nearly 4,400 acres, Port Alpha will be the largest shipyard in the U.S., nearly double the size of the next five largest shipyards combined saronic.com/portalpha

I was glad to join @SecWar on the Arsenal of Freedom Tour in Texas last week. We visited @Saronic Technologies and got an up-close look at their production line.

Their team is building the next generation of autonomous surface vessels at real speed and scale, and it's exactly we need. Investing in this new class of vessels strengthens our Navy, grows our defense industrial base, and keeps American shipbuilding competitive for decades to come.

Boring Company is working on a simple, precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio (>200 mph).

Due to traffic congestion, that journey can currently take up to 2.5 hours. @boringcompany can reduce that to a consistent <30 mins.

To build the Arsenal of Freedom, American companies must move fast—and move at scale.

Thankfully, the patriots of Austin, Texas, have answered the call.

AMERICAN WORKERS. AMERICAN MADE.

Here @Saronic in Austin ahead of @SecWar’s address in about an hour.

TO THE FIGHT
FOR OUR WARRIORS!

I love the smell of shipbuilding in the morning. It smells like victory. Congrats and thanks to @Saronic and all the other shipbuilders for all that they do to support our maritime interests.

True in 1912. True today.

Sea power starts in the shipyard.

Saronic is one of the most patriotic and technically sophisticated teams in the USA; they’re hiring thousands of builders 🇺🇸.

This new era of warfare and deterrence calls for new systems, new levels of innovation, and new speeds of production. And maritime drone producer @Saronic is one of the 🇺🇸 companies leading this revolution. My thanks to @Saronic CEO @MavrookasD for the excellent discussion on how tems are essential to the future security of the Indo-Pacific region.

We've hit another milestone in our $300 million shipyard expansion. The final structural beam is now in place on our Franklin, LA shipyard expansion project, marking a major step toward increasing production capacity for our 180-foot autonomous ship Marauder as we add an ft. to our existing footprint.

We’re grateful to our partners @JEDunn and Alberici for moving with speed to bring this facility to life and strengthen America’s maritime industrial base.

As production of Marauder continues to scale, we're expanding the infrastructure that supports every vessel from shipyard to delivery.

We're announcing our expansion to Gulfport, Mississippi, where we've established a dedicated Marauder on-water testing and commissioning Gulfport. Our first Marauder is already undergoing on-water testing at the site, with trials running 12+ hours a day, seven days a week. Additional Marauders under construction at our shipyard in Franklin, Louisiana will follow the same path to Gulfport as production ramps.

Thank you to @SenatorWicker, leadership from the @PortofGulfport and the University of Southern Mississippi, and representatives from the offices of Governor @tatereeves, Senator @cindyhydesmith and Congressman @RepEzell for joining us on site to mark the facility opening.

We're proud to continue investing across the Gulf Coast. Read more here: medium.com/saronic-techno…

Mississippi is developing some of the most advanced technologies in the world.

Today, @Saronic announced they’re establishing a site at the @PortofGulfport to test its Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel, Marauder.

The company summed it up well: “The state of Mississippi has spent itions that unmanned maritime systems require, having the foresight to invest ahead of market demand.”

"Every person that walks through the door every single day, is quite literally changing the world."

Two of our co-founders, CEO @MavrookasD and CTO @Vbob202, joined @Jason on the @theallinpod to discuss how Saronic is building differently. They close on why revitalizing America's maritime industrial base is our generation's space race: a problem the country has solved before, at a scale it hasn't attempted since World War II, and one it can't afford to lose.

Marauder on-water testing is in full swing.

The team took Marauder from initial design to on-water trials in under 12 months. Now we're running it on the water 12+ hours a day, seven days a week, proving out the autonomy at range and in conditions that don't cooperate. We're - it's the same bar we've held on every vessel we've fielded, and we're holding it here. We're putting in the work that matters and we're glad to be doing it.

Shipbuilding is a strategic priority again, and today was a reminder of what's possible when governments and industry move with urgency. 

Honored to join Secretary @howardlutnick , alongside Minister Kim Jung-kwan and Samsung Heavy Industries’ Vice Chairman and CEO, Sung An aronic's strategic collaboration with Samsung Heavy Industries.

The future won't be built by choosing between advanced manufacturing and autonomy. It will be built by bringing them together at scale. That's exactly what we're working toward, and partnerships like this will help strengthen America's maritime industrial base for decades to come. The time to build is now!
