Dino Mavrookas, co-founder and CEO of Saronic Technologies, affirms that his company is actively building ships in America, not just trying to. He highlights their success in converting a closing shipyard in Louisiana, retaining its workforce, and making a $300 million investment to scale production of autonomous "Marauder" vessels to 20 per year. Mavrookas states this modern approach will save taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars and dramatically accelerate the expansion of the US Navy fleet, achieving in one year what would traditionally take 30.
