The U.S. Navy’s $1 trillion fleet expansion plan has sparked interest from South Korea’s HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, which aims to become a key partner by leveraging its Aegis destroyer production capabilities and scalable shipbuilding infrastructure.
HD HHI has showcased confidence in its naval shipbuilding capabilities, with a proven track record of delivering major projects, including the Philippine Navy’s corvette BRP Miguel Malvar and the ROKS Jeongjo the Great destroyer, and plans to expand its production capacity to meet growing export demand, potentially contributing to the U.S. Navy’s modernization efforts.
