US naval shipbuilding is in its largest expansion since the early Cold War, driven by Columbia-class and Virginia-class submarine programs, Constellation-class frigates, and AUKUS commitments. The binding constraints are yard capacity, supplier depth, and welder training pipelines — not Congressional appropriations.
