Here's the list in my current game:
Kvaerner Stord
Boeing Aerospace
JSC PO Sevmash
47 Nova Kommunara
General Dynamics
RKWS-Atlas Werke
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
STT-Feretti Group
IAI Ramta Shipyard
Surya Heavy Industries
Tuzla Gemi Shipyard
Navantia-Neptun AG
Austal Orbital Yards
Novaya Zvezda DSME
Pan Gulf Shipyards
Bharati Shipyard Ltd.
Connell & Co.
Same for company names, I usually go with modern day real life defense contractors, Boeing, Saab, Dassault, Rheinmetall, etc.
I'm also running a Star Trek themed game with house rules where I take company and shipyard names from the excellent Ships of the Star Fleet books published back in the late 80s/early 90s.
