Norfolk doesn't have the skilled people. If you required the "skills" of rape, assault,
drug addiction, murder, robbery, and shoplifting, then Norfolk is the place to be.

I’m certain that if we just enact more diversity requirements, we can get to be as efficient at the Koreans.

Forget shipbuilding, at least the Pentagon is getting to the root cause of “white rage”.

No invented here so they must be inferior to good old fashioned American know-how.

US shipbuilders do exactly what the DoD tells them to, and not a thing more.
If they were told to track things at this level, they would...and bill the government absurd amounts to do so.
All they sell is timecards. The government tells them how many they will buy, and for what.
If and when the Congress wants that kind of scrutiny and oversight, they can put up the cash.
In the meantime, occasionally a ship or two plops out the back end of the “process”, and everyone claps. They all got paid. But efficiency and timeliness are not part of the program.

DIE is the FReeper way of stating DEI. DEI kills businesses and society.

This country would never be able to produce enough war machinery if we ever ended up engaged in an actual war with another country. Supplying proxy wars like Ukraine are a completely different ball of wax. What we did in WWII, when it came to war-time production, will never be reproduced here again.

But efficiency and timeliness are not part of the program.I know someone who worked in finance at a big defense contractor building items for the Air Force. Exactly the same problems: endless, idiotic change orders, shutting & restarting production lines, etc. Foreign orders came in, were completed, and went out the door faster than one of the same items for DOD.
US procurement money pays for the process of procurement, not delivering working weapons systems. In that sense, it's perfect in doing what it was designed to do.

South Korea doesn’t required the DIE model from their shipbuilders. They were not stupid enough to go woke.

Add in the Cost Guard’s heavy ice breakers that are also delayed because they have to reinvent how to make hardened steel.

It has never been this bad. In 1964 we valued merit. We don’t anymore.
