They started sponsoring RFK Racing's NASCAR program in 2023, which is the same year BuildSubmarines.com started. They sponsor Brad Keselowski's No. 6 Ford in the Cup Series.

Just so you know, it takes eight years to build a US Navy submarine from the First Cut of Steel Ceremony to her first patrol, if the vessel is a follow-on - one built after the boat the class is named for. The first one takes a lot longer because its construction time includes the time to design the sub. Even if Trump ordered them to start cranking out subs right and left, he'd be dead before the first one went to sea.
