Current Naval Shipbuilding Worldwide

(as of June 30, 2008)

This table includes all surface combatants, submarines, amphibious-warfare ships and auxiliaries of over 1000 displacement tons that are now under construction worldwide, i.e., outside the United States, listed by Navy.  Italics indicate vessels that are not yet under firm contract.  It does not include listings for either China or Russia, because they are too difficult to track.  Please e-mail any additions or corrections to timcolton@aol.com.
