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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
