We build them.

We fix them.

And we do it on schedule.

We overhauled the 793-foot USS SACRAMENTO ahead of schedule.

We built the 644-foot USS MCKEE under budget and ahead of schedule.

And at Lockheed Shipbuilding we do the same for more than a hundred ships, large and small, every year.

We've got floating dry docks to 14,500 tons, shipways to 700 feet, and piers to 1,100 feet.

And, we've got the superior craftsmen it takes to do your job.

So if your ship needs a new propulsion system, or just a "shave and a haircut," call us. We do superior work. And you won't have to wait long for it.
