Since 1952, Curtiss-Wright has been a trusted provider of critical technology to the U.S. Navy, playing a vital role in the development of nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, beginning with the world’s first nuclear submarine, the USS Nautilus (SSN 571). As a preferred supplier of valves and pumps integral to the nuclear propulsion systems of U.S. Navy submarines and aircraft carriers, Curtiss-Wright delivers equipment that supports the core operational functionalities of these advanced vessels. Curtiss-Wright also provides main generators that power U.S. Navy ships, along with a comprehensive array of technologies designed to support both surface and submerged platforms.
Through its partnership with the U.S. Navy, Curtiss-Wright has established itself as a leading supplier of highly engineered systems and components for various classes of aircraft carriers and submarines, including the new Ford-class aircraft carriers and Columbia-class submarines. Additionally, Curtiss-Wright’s technology enhances numerous surface ships, including the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer and the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program.
