William & Mary to be the US academic home of submarine production 7 November 2025

William & Mary will soon host one of just three centers in the world to support submarine production through the Australia, United Kingdom, and United States (AUKUS) security alliance.

Drawing on the region’s resources, the university will be the only U.S.-based AUKUS Center of Excellence, the Hampton Roads Alliance (HRA) announced last week. The selection was announced as part of the Hampton Roads Playbook, a plan to grow the region’s defense and shipbuilding industry.
