History
Marinette Marine Corporation (MMC) was founded on the Menominee River in Marinette in 1942 as part of the growth in the American shipbuilding industry during World War II. Since its founding, Marinette has produced more than 1,300 vessels. While primarily a producer of commercial vessels, it has also taken a number of contracts for the United States Navy, primarily for auxiliary vessels. Most recently however, Marinette Marine became part of a team with Lockheed Martin to produce one of two Littoral Combat Ship designs for the Navy, resulting in the launch of the USS Freedom on 1 February 2006. The Menominee River is a river in northwestern Michigan and northeastern Wisconsin in the United States. ...
