We will take the same approach with Port Alpha, designing a shipyard from the ground up to produce at a speed and scale not seen since World War II. Port Alpha will reflect the apex of America's shipbuilding past - generating new opportunities for the country's shipbuilding workforce, forging public-private partnerships to accelerate growth, and bringing innovation and ingenuity to an essential industry. We will bring these elements together with a single goal: to rapidly build a fleet of autonomous vessels in America that redefines maritime superiority and guarantees freedom of the seas for generations to come," Dino Mavrookas, Saronic CEO and Co-Founder.
