Saronic closed a $1.75B Series D at $9.25B valuation, more than doubling from $4B in under a year. The startup targets 20+ autonomous vessels annually by 2027, backed by a $392M Navy contract and its Port Alpha next-gen shipyard. This signals a paradigm shift where AI-driven, software-defined shipbuilding is replacing traditional defense manufacturing as the U.S. races to counter China's maritime dominance.
