I know very few US sgnificant modelling manufacturers.

the one that come to my mind is
http://www.scaleshipyard.com/
which makes 1/200 to 1/36 naval ships in kits, semi kits + fittings.

They compete with UK
http://www.sirmarmodelships.com/
and`http://www.fleetscale.com/

Should anyone wishes to add some links, they should not hesitate to. I am very insterested in kits/finished working scale models
