An honor to host Vice Admiral Joseph F. Cahill at our West Coast facility yesterday!

VADM Cahill visited with the specialists and technicians performing ship maintenance on USS Oakland - LCS 24 inside our Dry Dock Independence. This is the first ship to enter the newly-certified dry dock.

By performing this essential $10.8M maintenance in San Diego rather than pierside, we are not only returning the ship to the fleet faster, but also allowing the crew to stay in their homeport near their families.

We are proud to support our Navy and the San Diego maritime community!

On Wednesday, October 7, Austal USA attended the Alabama Workforce Exchange Summit, presented by the Alabama Community College System (ACCS), and hosted by Bishop State Community College, Coastal Alabama Community College, and Reid State Technical College. They brought together education, workforce, state, and industry leaders to explore emerging trends and innovative approaches to preparing Alabama’s workforce for their future.

The event featured Cam Marston, President of Generational Insights, who discussed how generational differences and changing workforce expectations influence recruiting, retention, and employee development. He also emphasized the importance of education-industry partnerships and transferring knowledge from experienced employees to the next generation of workers.

A legislative panel discussed support for workforce development.

They also tried the Augmented Arc virtual welding machine, receiving guidance from our training team on welding techniques such as travel speed and placement.

Thank you to Bishop State Community College for bringing students and industry partners together for a day of career exploration and hands-on learning!

Honoring 2,000 Years of Naval Tradition

Today, we witnessed a powerful moment as Austal USA and the crew of future USNS Lansing (EPF 16) welded the mast box into the ship's mast, a tradition that connects us to sailors across millennia. Inside our ship's mast box, we've sealed commemorative coins and personal mementos honoring our ship's legacy.

This tradition dates back to ancient Greece and Rome, where coins were placed beneath masts as "Charon's toll", ensuring safe passage for sailors. Today, though our ships are steel and aluminum and our masts house advanced sensors, we continue this sacred ritual.

The box is now welded into our mast structure, where it will remain sealed until decommissioning, a time capsule connecting past, present, and future generations of sailors.

Design. Build. Maintain. Connect.

These are the core pillars that were the focus of the SSI World Shipbuilding Conference 2026 held in Biloxi, MS, last week. During the conference, Austal USA engineers and IT specialists collaborated with other shipbuilding industry enthusiasts from across the US exploring the future of shipbuilding through thoughtful discussions, hands-on workshops, and innovative demonstrations.

Austal’s own Margaret Palmieri, Chief Information Technology Officer, delivered an insightful keynote on the 'Journey to a Digital Shipyard' and Steve Mackintosh, VP Engineering, contributed to a vital panel discussion on the current state and future of the shipbuilding industry.

Thanks to the SSI team for bringing us all together for this important industry event.

Shipbuilding has always been about more than ships.

It creates careers, strengthens families, drives innovation, and fuels local communities. That's been true throughout Mobile's history—and it's true today.

At Austal USA, we're proud to continue that legacy by creating meaningful careers while delivering the capabilities our nation's military depends on.

We couldn't build the industry's top workforce without our amazing community! A huge thank you to our partners who make this monumental effort possible:
