We recently marked a historic milestone with the christening of the USX-1 Defiant in Everett, Washington. The Defiant is the first vessel of its kind designed from the keel up to never accommodate a human aboard.
This moment represents the culmination of years of hard work by a dedicated team determined to push the boundaries of what’s possible at sea.
Now, Defiant is moving into at-sea testing, the next step in its journey to redefine naval operations.
Stay tuned as we follow Defiant’s progress on the open water.
