Austal USA launches second growth project in Mobile, Alabama, eyes 2,000 new jobs

By: Jerry Underwood

Austal USA, a cornerstone of Alabama’s thriving defense industry, has commenced the construction of a cutting-edge submarine module manufacturing facility (MMF3) in Mobile. This expansion marks another milestone in the company’s ongoing efforts to support the U.S. Navy’s submarine programs, further enhancing Alabama’s role in national defense.

The facility, spanning 369,600 square feet, is designed to manufacture structural assemblies for Columbia- and Virginia-class submarines, critical components of the U.S. Navy’s fleet.

With advanced technologies under the Industry 4.0 concept, the new facility will be operational by late 2026, increasing Austal’s capacity to meet the growing demands of the U.S. Navy’s Submarine Industrial Base.
