NAUTILUS

Ship repair

Ship repair in San Diego, to the Navy's standard.

Nautilus is a NAVSEA-certified full-service ship repair company. We've executed upgrades and maintenance aboard USS Boxer (LHD 4), kept the research vessel R/V Marcus G. Langseth in service across two oceans, and refurbished San Diego's amphibious tour fleet.

For commercial operators, that means fleet-grade structural repair, welding, pipefitting, and electrical work — pier-side, in dry dock, or mobilized to wherever your vessel is.
