Synopsis
USA Naval Capacity examines the critical state of American shipbuilding and its direct impact on U.S. naval power and national security. The book highlights how a diminished shipbuilding capacity threatens the nation's ability to project power globally and respond to emerging threats effectively. A key area of concern is the growing maintenance backlog, leading to delays and cost overruns that affect fleet readiness. The book meticulously explores the historical context, tracing the decline of American shipbuilding dominance since World War II due to shifting economic priorities and globalization. The book analyzes the current capabilities of the four remaining active shipyards capable of constructing large naval vessels, evaluating their capacity and economic viability. It also delves into the political and economic factors shaping the shipbuilding landscape, presenting data from government reports, industry analyses, and expert interviews. The approach taken is analytical and informative, presenting complex issues such as defense policy and maritime industrial base in an accessible manner. Concluding with potential solutions, the book offers policy recommendations and highlights the need for technological innovation and economic incentives to revitalize the shipbuilding industry. It connects to fields like economics and political science, illustrating how shipbuilding impacts local communities and national defense strategies. The book progresses through chapters, beginning with the strategic importance of naval power and culminating in actionable strategies for policymakers and industry leaders.
