The Navy secretary's comments came on the heels of an internal review that discovered that most of the Navy's top programs,
including high-priority submarines, a first-in-class guided-missile frigate, and the third Ford-class aircraft carrier, are severely delayed by years
are severely delayed by the government's idiotic obsession with diversity in place of intelligence, experience, ability, competency and work ethic.
LIVES WILL BE LOST AS A RESULT!
China and Russia will target those shipyards should anything happen. But North Korea would also be moving in such a scenario.
Carlos just said he has no clue about his job ?
When you ship your industrial base overseas you not only lose the infrastructure but you lose the skilled workers.
They won’t be coming back soon... or ever.
The Navy Secretary was “floored” by the shipbuilding capabilities of South Korea?
Yeah, that has been the case for several decades now. Glad the affirmative action whiz kids in DC are right on top of things. /s
“”When my team and I went to South Korea, we were floored at the level of digitization and real-time monitoring of shipbuilding progress, with readily available information down to individual pieces of stock materials,” Del Toro said.
“Their top executives could tell us to the day when ships would be delivered,””
Shocking! (To everyone except everyone else in the world besides the US Government)
Did Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro s institute DEI into the directives of all contracting companies? If so, Secretary you reap what you sow.
Pacific ally’s shipbuilding abilities amid American warships.
Hell no it’s insane what next rent some from them with long term contract.
Paging President Trump D.C. is in dire need of purging.
I've built drill ships with the Koreans. A team of engineers comes into your office and a few weeks later leaves with a complete design. There may be some changes made but those come easy at not too big a price if they are not major and no other changes are made or things have to be undone to get them accomplished.
Vs a warship, I doubt a drill ship is any or much less complicated. On time and on budget delivered without too much fanfare. Most of our problems were with third party supplied drilling equipment and not marine systems.
Not only drill ships but Floating Storage Offloading and Production systems as well. Usually on time and on budget. The things are more like floating refineries.
There was a time when US shipyards could crank out Liberty ships by the day and destroyers by the week. NO computers at all. Just dedicated people who knew what they were doing and a Navy that did the same and let it happen.
Just about nothing happens in this country well any longer. The US is a loser and so is Del Toro, so is the Navy. It is not hard at all to find anything wrong in this country. The nearly impossible challenge is to find anything right.

Maybe Korea doesn’t do DEI.
I hope the new Hyundai battleship has a better anti theft system than their automobiles.
Bath Iron Works is 5 years behind and need 1000 more us the 800 retiring and 20% retention rate. Incompetent and unionized.
Constant changes kill efficient shipbuilding for our military. If they would let the shipbuilders build the ships without meddling constantly it would be going much better.
I noticed a sharp uptick in Indian, Japanese, South Korean, and other Asian countries’ arms procurement around the time the Democrats stole the 2020 election and put Biden in power. Those nations’ leaders know they might not be able to count on America to protect them against Red China in the near future. A second American civil war, or a Democrat regime highly favorable toward Beijing, are real possibilities.
