.@SECNAV, thank you for stopping by and flying our Seaglider simulator at @reindsummit—it was an honor to spend time with you. Your vision for the future of naval maritime power is inspiring, and it’s clear you understand that the challenges facing our Navy today demand bold and…
At @reindsummit 2.0 this week, I met with leaders driving the future of American manufacturing and maritime innovation. Rebuilding our industrial base is a strategic imperative. The clock is ticking. Today, our shipyards are too few. Our industrial workforce is shrinking. Our…
This is huge. Announcing #REGENTDefense. Since the founding of our company, we have been working with our defense partners to build out our technology and meet the needs of our customers - both commercial and defense. With the recent $10m contract extension with the United…
BREAKING NEWS: We’re proud to announce REGENT Defense at @reindsummit 2025. We’ve long been a dual-use company, but now, in complement to our global commercial backlog, we’re amping up our work for the Department of Defense with a dedicated business unit and expansion of our…
Critically important conversation in the U.S. Capitol today about the SHIPS for America Act, U.S. #Shipbuilding, and how we build our maritime industrial base. A few take aways: 1. Innovative maritime designs is the key to unlocking our shipbuilding renaissance. @regentcraft…
Great event tonight at @regentcraft’s Washington DC office to kick off our Shipbuilding Day on Capitol Hill tomorrow. Thanks to @newindustrials, @AustinEGray, @amtonline, @JuliusKrein , @austinbishop , @DTB_Seth, and everyone who could make it tonight. Now let’s go build some…
Reindustrialize was a resounding success and ushers in a new era of American innovation. From our announcement of #REGENTDefense and a new Seaglider product line - including the hybrid Viceroy that can reach over 1,400 nautical miles - to breakthroughs in manufacturing AI…

Great piece on the Reindustrialize movement - plus an excellent highlight of the spacious interior of @regentcraft's Seaglider!
My latest piece about the movement to Reindustrialize America: “You can’t really offer your citizens much,” he said, “if all you’re asking them to do is sit around, trade crypto, watch Netflix and order Uber Eats.” @reindsummit nytimes.com/2025/07/20/us/…
Absolutely! Skilled labor doesn’t just appear - it needs to be built starting now. I wrote about this here: regentcraft.com/news/revitaliz… And it’s not just welders and pipe fitters, either (although there is a drastic shortage of both). The future of shipbuilding includes advanced…
More of this! We need skilled labors to build ships, submarines but that process starts recruiting in high-school! @SECNAV said this multiple times as has maritime industry leading voices like @johnkonrad from @gCaptain & @Admiral_Foggo from @CMS_Washington! #BuildBabyBuild
I love being part of this team. This is the absolute truth: I’ve had long days, and I’ve had hard days - I have yet to have a bad day at @regentcraft
What a team! I am so thankful to work with this incredible group. Takes a village to make a conference go!
We asked @billythalheimer (Co-Founder & CEO @regentcraft) about the strategic importance of sea gliders in defense. "Our commercial customers like high-speed, low-cost Seagliders." "In the DoD space, they're hard to detect, flying low over water." "They're perfect for naval…
Coverage this week of the shipbuilding space deserves some commentary. Here's mine: 1⃣ Final departures of White House / NSC shipbuilding folks drove negative coverage (and triggered @johnkonrad) 2⃣ Potential shakeup of Navy acquisitions drove Politico story that could have…
Here’s the thing - it’s over-complicated. The Sea Monster appears to have massive engines above the wing, which will require significant thrust to overcome weight (plus no blown-wing). It also seems to have a planing hull, so sea-state will be an issue (hydrofoils, anyone?) so…
The Bohai Sea Monster is now seen in full view, showing China’s thrust into runway agnostic littoral operations. We cannot let this capability go unchecked as tensions continue to rise in the INDOPACIFIC. twz.com/air/chinas-mys…

As we go into the Independence Day weekend, I’m so proud of the work of our team. We are continuing our hydrofoil test campaign and preparing for flight, further validating the @regentcraft #Seaglider design, control system, and incredible maneuverability. Not only will this…
“There’s a company called @regentcraft building the #Seaglider that flies below radar and above sonar with very, very long range - essentially invisible.” Erik Bethel and @realErikDPrince discuss defense tech, the challenges of our outdated defense procurement system, and the…
