About Us

What's In A Name?

The US Navy once had 15 active shipyards stateside and another 7 oversees. Charleston Naval Shipyard was one of the first and one of the longest running. Charleston has been a maritime hub since the 1600's as the second oldest city in the United States. Lowcountry pride has kept ships at sea and sailors safe for hundreds of years.

Around 2022, the US Navy began publicly discussing the need for a "fifth shipyard" capable of maintaining SSN and/or SSGN. Lowcountry Maritime Group was born in response to that need to provide the Navy support in addressing maintenance backlogs, the growing force, longer life hulls, and incorporating new technology.

Our name is an acknowledgement to the many areas across the US that used to be major industrial bases for national security. Our name is a reminder that we must utilize all of America's talent and capabilities to deliver the most capable Force. America has always been a maritime nation. The seas are the lifeblood of our economy, our national security, our way of life.

Defense Industrial Base

The U.S. industrial base currently consists of over 200,000 companies. Mitigating risks—such as reliance on foreign and single-source suppliers—is essential to avoid supply disruptions and ensure that the industrial base can meet current and future needs.

Deindustrialization

The decline of U.S. shipbuilding is just one facet of America’s broader deindustrialization. An abandonment of the production of every industrial product has been abandoned since the Cold War ended.

Gaps in Skills

Continuous Development

After 80 years of continuous development there has been a multi-generational gap. That gap is in skilled trades in the maritime industry. In development of naval focused scientists, engineers, and technologists.

Continuous Development

Continuous development allows for evolutionary improvements and calculated risks ensuring the maritime industry remains credible.
