There are six yards that can build major naval combatants, all owned by either General Dynamics or Northrop Grumman.
GD: Bath Iron Works (Bath, ME)
Electric Boat (Groton, CT)
NASSCO (San Diego)
NG: NG Ship Systems (Pascagoula, MS) formerly Ingalls
Avondale (New Orleans)
Newport News (Norfolk, VA)
Newport News is the only yard capable of building aircraft carriers. Electric Boat builds only submarines, Newport News can also build subs.
There are a large number of smaller yards throughout the country that build ferrys, tugs, barges, work boats, patrol vessels, etc.

This isn't a complete list, but right off the top of my head:
Ingalls in Pascagoula, MS; Newport News in Newport News, VA; Electric Boat in Groton, CT; Avondale in Gulfport, MS; New Orleans, LA. IOW, not much and all owned by either Northrop Grumman or Generay Dynamics.
