Default "Build Submarines" TV ad

I saw an unusual ad for this on TV:

Their site:

Immediate job openings available to join the team building America's submarines

The submarine industrial base is a vital part of the United States’ national security. For decades, this skilled and patriotic group of industry partners have provided critical components, products and services to ensure the design, construction, maintenance and modernization of the U.S. Navy’s submarine fleet. The millions of hands that ultimately build these great vessels hail from every state in the country, and a vast network of over 16,000 suppliers that range from small, family-owned businesses to shipbuilders the size of towns. The industrial base’s dedication to the mission and continued innovation have enabled the Navy to stay ahead of the curve and anticipate needs, providing a strategic advantage and a fundamental differentiator in the defense of the nation.

This is probabaly related to this:

Australia's nuclear-powered submarine program will cost up to $245 billion over the next three decades, an Australian defense official said on Tuesday, according to Reuters. And that does not include purchasing at least three and as many as five Virginia-class submarines from the U.S., which will include an as-yet-determined mix of new and used boats, Mara Karlin, Performing the Duties of Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, told reporters, including The War Zone, on Tuesday.

Virginia class subs being built for the US:

Statistically, we got a better chance of being bitten by a shark." Then I showed her the scar on my elbow from a shark attack. I said, "I got this when my plane went down off of Florida." - Dennis Regan
