Husted secures Cleveland as home of new U.S. Navy’s Submarine Component Repair Center

“Northeast Ohio has the skilled workforce, infrastructure and strategic location to support this critical mission for our U.S. Navy.” WASHINGTON – Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) applauded President Donald Trump’s announcement that Cleveland has been selected as the home of the U.S. Navy’s new Submarine Component Repair Center. The announcement follows Husted’s letter to Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought and Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao urging the administration to consider Northeast Ohio for the facility. “Northeast Ohio has the skilled workforce, infrastructure and strategic location to support this critical mission for our U.S. Navy. This facility will strengthen our national security, support military readiness and create jobs in Cleveland. I urged the administration to bring this facility to Northeast Ohio, and I’m proud to see Cleveland selected as its home. I’ll continue fighting for projects that strengthen our nation’s defense and create opportunities for Ohio workers,” said Husted. On August 13, 2026, Trump issued a presidential memorandum directing administration officials to identify a suitable location for the center within 90 days. The facility is expected to manufacture, repair and maintain submarine components, supporting the U.S. Navy while bringing new economic opportunities to Northeast Ohio.
