Part of General Dynamics Marine Systems, Bath Iron Works is a full service shipyard specializing in the design, building and support of complex surface combatants for the U.S. Navy. BIW's 120+ year history reflects a continuous pattern of innovation, new technology and process improvements. Today, we are revolutionizing naval shipbuilding. We are substantially reducing the labor hours needed to build Navy warships by producing highly outfitted modular ship units, some weighing nearly 1,500 tons, which are erected on our state-of-the-art Land Level Transfer Facility. The result is a highly capable and affordable product for our Navy that carries with it the renowned quality of a Bath-built ship. Our employees are our strength. We are shipfitters, welders, electricians, fabricators and pipefitters. We are program managers, designers, naval architects, engineers, ship operators and business professionals. We come from all over the US and from all walks of life and each day we contribute to the defense of our nation. We are one of the largest private sector employers in Maine. As such, we play a key role in the economic growth and stability in the Midcoast region and beyond. BIW is the lead designer and builder of the Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) class of AEGIS destroyers, the most successful Navy new ship construction program of recent decades. These ships are the most technologically advanced surface combatants afloat. In February 2009, the yard begins construction on the first of the new Zumwalt (DDG 1000) class of destroyers, continuing its tradition of leadership in technology and innovation. BIW's continuing success is a result of innovative thinking and a commitment to teamwork.
