Austal is an Australian owned company that operates a shipyard in Alabama so it can build for the US Navy (it also builds for the civil market, but requirements for USN work is the primary reason for having a US based shipyard). It employs a few thousand Americans there, and makes money for an Australian business at the same time.

Win-win.
