In terms of partnerships, HII signed a Memorandum of Agreement with HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, indicating a strengthening collaborative agreement. Additionally, HII has made significant advancements in shipbuilding throughput and secured a new U.S. Navy Small Surface Combatant contract. The company secured major Navy ship delivery milestones, further solidifying its leading position in the sector.
