“The US Navy is also contributing an additional $2,900,000,000 to support the shipyard”
TRUE
What the record shows
U.S. Navy awarded Anduril Industries a contract worth up to $2.9 billion for submarine component manufacturing at Sparrows Point, with payments tied to production outcomes (announced October 6, 2026).
The $2.9 billion figure is accurate, but it is a performance-based contract, not a direct contribution or subsidy to the shipyard.
