Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what role does Huntington Ingalls Industries perform in the design of the SSN-AUKUS submarines.
This question was answered on 3rd November 2026
Huntington Ingalls Industries Newport News Shipbuilding (HII-NNS) has provided some advice and technical input regarding US technology insertion into the SSN-AUKUS design. HII-NNS does not hold design authority for SSN-AUKUS, which remains with the UK. The company's contribution forms part of broader AUKUS efforts to strengthen tri-national collaboration, submarine enterprise capability and capacity across the UK, US and Australia.
