2024 Congressional Forum
The 650 companies that comprise the Amphibious Warship Industrial Base Coalition (AWIBC) will host a congressional forum on Capitol Hill with key members of Congress, U.S. Navy and Marine Corps leadership, and industry leaders to discuss the importance of cost-effectively and efficiently constructing amphibious warships required by our nation.

Welcome to
amphibiouswarship.org
Built for survivability, U.S. Navy amphibious warships are unique combat vessels that deploy and support missions anywhere in the world, in any condition and on short notice. These warships make it possible for the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps to respond swiftly and aggressively from sea and air in times of crisis, from major combat operations to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
HISTORIC NEWS
In response to Senator Wicker’s multi-ship buy announcement, the Amphibious Warship Industrial Base Coalition (AWIBC) released the following statement from its Chairman Paul Roden:
“Today is a historic day for the amphibious warship industrial base. Our suppliers have been advocating for a multi-ship buy for years. So, we are thrilled to see lawmakers, the Navy and Marine-Corps listen to our concerns and reach this deal, which will provide the predictable funding that our suppliers urgently need. Not only will this block buy save the taxpayers nearly $1 billion, but it will provide over 650 companies across 39 states with the stability we need to invest in our skilled workforce, get ahead of inflation and ensure on time deliveries. The companies of the amphibious warship industrial base are extremely proud of their contributions to our national security and will deliver the highest quality parts and services for these future amphibious warships.”
