Maybe the steel tarrifs will help fund building steel ships 😂. The US shut down the plants due to it being more profitable to import goods than it was to refit the factories needed to build things and then conveniently blamed wage earners.

Ingalls shipyard in Pascagoula Mississippi is not Americas largest shipyard.
Newport News shipyard in Virginia is.

I can bet that this ship will not be ready to sail before 10 years😂

Oh you don’t say. When the experienced workers retire you replace them with new inexperienced workers who would’ve imagined that 3:18

Waterfall planning and cost-plus contracting is just fueling incompetence. Anduril-ize every government product. Provide tax subsidies on raw materials, tooling, and labor. It’s that simple.

We need more shipyards. We aren’t even keeping pace with the PRC.
@
Sounds like Trump wrote the script for this.
@
Training cost money and Corporate would rather offshore jobs than train American workers.
@
Can you see that America is like a toxic ex who can’t let go. China this and China that. Doubt China cared that much. If you want build ships just do it.. stop whining

CEO Christopher Kastner salary is $14.5 M

Completely overlooks the biggest challenge: the US lacks shipyards! How did you miss that?
@
It takes us ten years to build a carrier, and it’ll take a hypersonic missile a few minutes to sink it. This is pissing into the wind.
@
Relearning the Liberty ship lessons?
@
10:25 having large vessels that can complete exquisite tasks 😂😂😂 ?!!!

Well it’s nothing compared the speed of the development and construction of theses ships by China. U.S really need to get act together to produce more ships.
@
And cargo ships as well please
@
It probably doesn’t have to be said but those asinine battleships will never get built.
