Allows the Navy to have certain naval ships or major ship components built in allied foreign shipyards if doing so is cheaper than building in a U.S. shipyard. The foreign yard must be in a NATO country or an Indo‑Pacific country that has a mutual defense treaty with the United States, and the Secretary of the Navy must certify to Congress that the yard is not owned or operated by a Chinese company or a multinational domiciled in the People’s Republic of China before construction starts.
