It will also support the design and testing of naval steam turbine systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The facility will also produce systems for the Columbia-class submarine program, which has been designated as the Navy\u2019s top priority program, per a December 2025 Congressional Research Service report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was estimated last June that the Columbia-class vessel would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2025\/06\/24\/senators-concerned-with-navy-shipbuilding-delays-budget\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"

href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/crs-product\/R41129\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/crs-product\/R41129\">now facing a delay<\/a> of 17 months, which could potentially impact the development of Virginia-class submarines due to a spillover of heightened manufacturing demands, according to the report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report notes that \u201cthe emergence of an estimated 17-month delivery delay in spite of these efforts is a reflection of the depth of the challenges the Navy and industry currently face in executing Navy shipbuilding programs,\u201d and adds that the Navy\u2019s aging Ohio-class submarines will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/crs-product\/R41129\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/crs-product\/R41129\">likely not be replaced on schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it demonstrated devastating stealth and firepower during Operation Midnight Hammer in Iran, the Ohio is due for replacement, with the first vessel of its class reaching the <a

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opening of the new facility comes at a time when spurring the delivery of the first vessel of the Columbia class is urgently needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Department of War has been clear about the need to strengthen and expand the defense industrial base, and this investment answers that call,\u201d John Baylouny, president and CEO of Leonardo DRS, said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leonardodrs.com\/news\/press-releases\/leonardo-drs-opens-advanced-naval-power-and-propulsion-facility-in-charleston-south-carolina\/\"
