US Navy secretary says he was 'floored' by a Pacific ally's shipbuilding abilities amid American warship production woes
Story by cpanella@businessinsider.com (Chris Panella) • 18h •


US Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said he was "floored" at South Korea's shipbuilding abilities.

A recent review found that the US Navy's top shipbuilding programs are heavily delayed by years.

Del Toro and other Navy officials addressed US shipbuilding problems in a budget hearing this week.


Amid concerns about American shipbuilding, the US Navy's top civilian official said this week that he was "floored" by a Pacific ally's capabilities in this space.
 
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, fueling worries from US officials about the ability to maintain our pace against great power rivals.

Pitiful.  Clueless. Frightening.
