The Submarine Industrial Base Council 

Established in 1992, the Submarine Industrial Base Council seeks to educate policymakers and the public about the need to preserve the strength of the U.S. submarine force and promote the value of the submarine industrial base as a vital part of our national security.

SIBC membership is open to the more than 5,000 U.S. companies that provide critical materials to the U.S. submarine programs under development or in production. Member businesses range from the smallest specialty shops to manufacturers of main propulsion equipment

The SIBC encourages its membership to engage in dialogue with decision and policy makers and can provide materials at the local, state and national level. The SIBC’s cornerstone event is Submarine Supplier Days, an annual Washington, DC, fly-in of more than 400 suppliers and executives for briefings and congressional engagement.

All SIBC activities are voluntary.  There are no membership fees and travel expenses are borne by each individual company.
