History












A Rich Past to an Exciting Future: 1869 into the 21st Century


Our 140-year history is steeped in the tradition of providing technology for the Fleet.
From our modest beginnings of developing torpedoes and experimenting with undersea acoustics, we have expanded to become the world’s foremost USW laboratory, with spheres of excellence in multiple technology areas.


NUWC was established in 1992, consolidating expertise from the Naval Undersea Warfare Engineering Station (NUWES) in Keyport, Washington and the Naval Underwater Systems Center (NUSC) in Newport, Rhode Island.
