Electric Boat (US navy submarine maker) is trying. They were down to under 5k employees in the 90s (IIRC) after the end of the cold war and significant cuts to defense spending. Now they are probably over 20k and trying to increase production of one type of submarine, add a modified type to the same line, and build a new line for a new type. Not going perfectly but having billions shoved in your pockets sure helps recovery.
