Our mission and vision
The mission of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is to design, build, deliver and maintain the ships, submarines and systems for the U.S. Navy reliably, on time and on budget.
NAVSEA is the U.S. Navy’s largest engineering command. We design, build and maintain naval platforms and systems, manage ship repair and modernization, and deliver the technology sailors need to complete their missions.
At the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), we deliver ships and combat systems ready for today’s missions and tomorrow’s challenges.

Headquarters—Oversees contracts, engineering, logistics, maintenance and finance.
Warfare Centers—Ten centers provide engineering, research and development to support Navy ship and system capabilities.
Naval Shipyards— Four public shipyards repair, modernize and sustain the fleet.
Regional Maintenance Centers—Four centers standardize maintenance and modernization to deliver cost-effective fleet readiness worldwide.
Supervisors of Shipbuilding—On-site NAVSEA supervisors ensure quality and technical compliance with private shipbuilders.
If you’re passionate about innovation, teamwork and supporting national defense, NAVSEA offers exciting careers where your skills directly impact the strength and safety of the Navy.
Lines of effort
Across the NAVSEA enterprise, the focus is on getting our ships and their warfighting systems designed, delivered, maintained and sustained to meet global national security requirements.
To meet that charge, NAVSEA developed an enterprise strategy focused on those priorities that are most impactful to improving readiness outcomes. Specifically, the five inter-connected lines of effort are intended to synchronize actions and better support our sailors and warfighters. NAVSEA’s ability to drive achievements in each of these respective areas is what will collectively deliver the capability and capacity our Navy needs.
The five lines of effort:
Accelerate force generation: Deliver ships and combat systems.
Generate readiness: Maintain, modernize and sustain platforms.
Generate, capture and use data: Drive innovation with data.
Strengthen the Navy team: Attract, retain and grown our workforce.
Strengthen the foundation: Enhance critical infrastructure.
