Euskalduna North America

Encouraged by the Project Still Blue Water, Euskalduna Ontziolak SA decided to go for the North American market in 2004 and bought the Brown Shipbuilding Company (Houston, Texas) to KBR. Later renamed 'Euskalduna North America, and after an investment of $ 20 million, the shipyard began building ships for the U.S. Navy in late 2005.
