About

Bath Iron Works is a shipyard in Bath, Maine, on the Kennebec River, that designs, constructs and supports surface combatants and other naval vessels for the U.S. Navy. It operates as part of General Dynamics Marine Systems and has built ships continuously for the Navy since 1884, a record of more than 140 years of shipbuilding.

The yard's principal programmes are the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers and the Zumwalt-class stealth destroyers, among the most advanced warships afloat. Technical work spans naval shipbuilding, surface combatant design and construction, stealth ship technology, ship systems installation, welding and fabrication, design engineering, ship maintenance and support, and sea trials.

Roles cover a wide range of environments, from offices and the shop floor to work onboard ships during sea trials. The company runs training programmes that help people build skills in the trades, with career paths running from areas such as carpentry through to design engineering. Work is organised around a team-oriented "shipbuilders" culture, and the work itself is tied directly to national defence.

Bath Iron Works is a major regional employer in Maine.
