There’s a rapid demand for advanced naval vessels such as destroyers and frigates as countries modernize their fleets. HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with its impressive track record of building superior naval vessels for clients like the Philippine and Peruvian Navies, is keen on expanding its presence in significant global defense markets, particularly in the U.S.
