Apparently the shipyard workers aren't being paid either

https://goodlander.house.gov/media/in-the-news/pulse-of-nh-bipartisan-bill-to-protect-shipyard-workers/

New Hampshire Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander, Congressman Chris Pappas and Republican Congresswoman Jen Kiggins of Virginia, have introduced a bipartisan bill to ensure workers at public shipyards get paid during the government shutdown.
