In this episode, we sit down with Jack Nugent, the New York State Force Lead for the U.S. Navy’s Maritime Industrial Base (MIB) Program. Jack shares his compelling personal journey—from growing up on Long Island to serving as a submarine officer aboard the USS Helena, and now playing a critical role in revitalizing the U.S. shipbuilding industry.
We dig into the heart of the MIB Program and explore why workforce development, supplier innovation, and advanced manufacturing are more essential than ever to meeting the Navy’s demand for new submarines and surface ships. Jack also sheds light on the 250,000+ skilled workers needed over the next decade—and how organizations like the Council of Industry are helping to connect manufacturers in New York State to this national mission.
