Skills, like making hardened steel for Navy ships’ hulls and ice breakers, are long forgotten - lost as part of various ‘peace dividends’ and de-milling efforts.

I have read that from the early 2000's until the late 2010's over 50,000 factories were moved from the USA to China. The American elite has simply decided to import such items from China./s

The skills were lost because there was no demand and those with the skills died off.

Does China have the skill to make hardened armor plate? I don’t know. They cannot make hardened armor plate for their ice breakers as they are only light duty ones.

[Well, at least they didn’t name the ship after Harvey Milk. What a bleeding disgrace, worthy of ribald, biting ridicule and scorn.]

Another Obama Obamination of the United States of America.

All Satan had to do was introduce one charismatic false prophet to American Liberals and the fools followed him down the path.

Are you serious?

[PIF]

Yes.

[9YearLurker]

I think that’s ridiculous.

We spend far more than any other country does on the military. It is corruption and capture that has led to that spending being massively ineffective.
