Shipbuilding Contract Cancelled

The US Navy has cancelled the majority of the Constellation-class frigate program; a decision announced by Navy Secretary John Phelan on November 25, 2025. 

The first two ships, the future USS Constellation and USS Congress, which are under construction at the Fincantieri Marinette Marine shipyard in Wisconsin, will be completed. The remaining four ships that were under contract have been canceled. 

The decision reflects a strategic shift towards accelerating fleet modernization with new ship classes that can be delivered faster, after the Constellation program faced significant delays, cost overruns, and design issues.
