Shipbuilding a vital national resource Liberty Ship (1941)

Guided Missile Frigate (1986)

Todd Shipyards played an important role in achieving the victory of the Allied Forces in World War II . Todd built 443 Liberty ships that were used to supply our armed forces, as well as those of our allies, with the materials needed to defeat the Axis powers. Todd also repaired thousands of ships to help maintain the historic "bridge of ships" . Today, Todd craftsmen continue to bolster the security of our Country and the free world by producing high quality, cost-effective surface combatants. Our

expertise in building destroyer type ships is second to none and our record speaks for itself. We at Todd are proud of our performance in times of national crisis and are emminently qualified to participate in the construction of any surface combatants our Navy may intend to build. We adhere to the belief that preservation of our shipbuilding industrial mobilization base , to enhance the geographical dispersion of our naval forces, is vital to the security of our nation and the free world.
