An admirable goal. It's going to take a lot of time and a lot of money (probably most in the form of direct government investment or in government-guaranteed loans.)

We need ships now. Partner with Korea and the Norwegians. Subsidize them to start there and here. The next war isn’t going to allow an industrial scale up like WW2. We will win or lose based on the assets at hand.

If you want ships, you need a robust steel industry. We either pour it ourselves or go begging to Japan and China.

You know there are fewer than 50 family-owned forges left in the US.

All ships need ‘iron dome’ drone fleets too. Ships now are too easy to take out with drones.

China's Maritime Dominance?

Isn't that a stretch?

I expect a Federal District Judge to order our Navy to remain inferior to China’s.
