Wes Moore Barred From Shipyard

Anduril is building Arsenal-2, a new shipyard at Tradepoint Atlantic in Sparrows Point, Maryland, to make components for Virginia-class submarines. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said he was blocked from speaking at the announcement and skipped it; the White House said he was invited as a guest, not a speaker. The Navy has struggled to meet its goal of two Virginia-class submarines a year, producing about 1.3 annually. Moore said Maryland helped bring Anduril to the state. The White House accused him of making the event about himself. Anduril CEO Brian Schimpf thanked Moore and other state leaders. The facility is expected to begin operations in 2030.
