At that point maximum USA production will be 3000 per day.
The newest Army Ammunition Plant in the nation, in Stennis, Mississippi, went online in 1983. In 1990, it was mothballed by the Bush 41 administration. Clinton, of course, did not bring it back online - Peace Dividend and all that. Bush 43 closed it permanently and repurposed the facility. I think part of it may be a Government Printing Office "continuity of operations" site, now.
That plant was in the planning and construction phase for almost a decade, then operated for only seven years. I wonder where the specialized tooling for the 155mm artillery shells (and cluster bomblets) ended up.

Probably China, or sold as scrap.
Rumsfeld tried to get rid of artillery entirely, because his “experts” told him it was obsolete.
Despite the fact that every peer War starting with WW1, land based artillery creates 60-80 percent of all casualties.
In Ukraine it is at least 80 percent.
Yup.
Maybe the Ch!nks bought it.
