It’s not a ship, it’ an industry

And it has national security applications in time of war or national emergency, when the cruise ships become national assets, like the airlines

But not to worry, the industry will find a govt willing to abate taxes and regulations to make it profitable to build ships

In China

Whose assets? What countries? These cruise liners are mostly foreign registered. Despite that, are they U.S. company owned or is that foreign too?
