到目前为止，你可能已经听说美军需要更多廉价的无人机和导弹，但美军同时也面临着舰艇、潜艇和飞机数量危险下降的困境。安杜里尔工业公司本周对协助建造美国潜艇做出的大笔押注，是缓解国家造船危机的重要一步。
By now you’ve heard that the American military needs more cheap drones and missiles, but U.S. forces are also facing a dangerous decline in ships, submarines and aircraft. Anduril Industries’ big bet this week on helping to build U.S. submarines is a major step toward easing the national shipbuilding crisis.
在周二与特朗普总统共同发布的声明中，安杜里尔表示将投资 37 亿美元建设一个工厂，为美国海军生产“弗吉尼亚”级攻击型潜艇的分段。该目标旨在 2030 年前在马里兰州建立这座工厂，并制造鱼雷发射管等部件，最终甚至可能制造该舰艇的更大部件。
In an announcement with President Trump on Tuesday, Anduril said it will invest $3.7 billion to build a facility that can produce sections of Virginia-class attack submarines for the U.S. Navy. The aim is to stand up the plant in Maryland by 2030 and build items such as torpedo tubes and eventually perhaps larger parts of the vessel.
