Wisconsin , including
Marinette Marine , which built the first
Freedom -class littoral combat ship. Fincantieri also purchased from Manitowoc Marine Group a topside repair yard in
Ohio and one production plant in Wisconsin, making it one of the leading mid-sized shipbuilders in the
United States for commercial and government customers, including the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.
