America's Front-Line Fleet: Built for the Hardest Mission. Holding the Line.

When the call goes out — search and rescue, emergency response, force protection, homeland security — there's no time to wonder if the Fleet is ready. That's your job. Your responsibility. Your watch.

MACC 2026 exists to make sure you're ready for it. To give you the knowledge, the connections, the technology updates, and the relationships that make you better at what you do — so that when your community needs you, the answer is never in doubt.

This is where your peers come to share what they've learned and learn from what you know. Where the operator meets the engineer.

Where the first responder meets the innovator. Where careers are built and the front-line fleet gets stronger.

Portsmouth, Virginia. July 14–16. Your mission brought you here. Let MACC take you further.

"MegaRust 2026 kicked off last night and the Welcome Reception did not disappoint. Our corrosion community showed up for local beer tastings, lively conversation, and hard to beat San Diegan weather 🌴

Huge thank you to our reception sponsor Enterprises Corrosion Solutions who set the tone for a great week.

Day 1 starts now — opening remarks from Mark Lattner, SES, NAVSEA 05P and Mark Ingle, NAVSEA 05P2, technical tracks all day, and live demos to close it out.

If you're in San Diego, stop by, check out the exhibit hall, and join the conversation.

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember our shipmates and service members on eternal watch — and the families and loved ones who continue to carry their memory with strength, pride, and sacrifice.

Their courage, service, and commitment helped forge the freedoms we enjoy today and the Fleet that continues to defend them.

They are the Foundry of Our Freedom.
Fair winds and following seas to those who now stand eternal watch.
