House Concurrent Resolution No. 118 emphasizes the need for the expansion of the warship manufacturing industry in Texas in response to the shrinking and aging fleet of U.S. warships amidst increasing national security threats. The resolution highlights President Donald Trump's call for enhanced shipbuilding capabilities and suggests that promoting this industry in Texas could lead to job creation and a positive economic impact on the state.

To support this initiative, the resolution calls for Texas to take proactive measures, such as developing a skilled workforce, expanding port facilities, and constructing new manufacturing sites. The Texas Legislature expresses its support for these efforts, aiming to bolster the warship manufacturing sector and contribute to national defense and economic growth. The resolution was adopted by both the House and Senate in May 2025.
