Yes but itโ€™s in California, no one is allowed to build anything

The first time I've seen someone comparing shipyards sizes in a video like this. Kudos to you! I'm trying to spread awareness about the shipyard size differentials as well! The shipyards in Asia dwarf ours.

If you are interested in a rendered concept of Solano shipyard, let me know! This is one I'm working on for a Hunter's Point revival concept using GIS data. It's a work in progress.

If we're talking about commercial ships, US shipyards didn't build five last year. They built zero.

Actually pretty mind-blowing how far behind with production the United States is behind China We won WWII for the most part because we could out produce everyone else. Massive ship building port in San Francisco could be great. The SF Port could become a major stop for the Large-scale deep-sea mining in Pacific which is ramping up

100% !! Americans just dont know how many thousands of jobs Shipyards sustain!! I used to work at the NAVY Shipyard in San Diego and can tell you its incredibly rewarding as you see the progress on the ship over time๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ It pays well and there is overtime **FOR MONTHS** on end!!

@alexg_7426 Tons of people these days don't think so including a lot of the younger guys you need to do that work. The work world has changed and younger workers want more work-life balance and more often than not are not dating, forming families and such This makes selling O/T hard

100%. But having California Forever anchored by this major industrial facility just takes the whole project to a different level. This is looking more and more like a real city as opposed to an extremely well-designed large suburb.

100% right. But also, it was always this way, the media just spun it differently. The Industry & Technology Zone was there in the plans from January 2024 (today Solano Foundry).

Build more ships. Grateful to call California and Solano County home. This communityโ€™s heritage in service, shipbuilding, and Travis AFB runs deep. Time to reclaim our role in protecting the nation. Letโ€™s do This !๐Ÿ˜Žโœ…๐Ÿ˜Ž

You realize that the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard is 25 miles due west of where this is located. It already has drydocks, building ways, and used to employ 10k of the best ship builders in the world.

California will never approve it. Would displace some microscopic brine shrimp or something and get canceled. Great idea though, try Mississippi

I hope youโ€™re successful. I grew up in Suisun, that land has always been empty. The sloughs were great for fishing, not much more. Would love to see Mare Island open back up too. Lots of potential out there.

Thank you! The sloughs can stay great for fishing, we're building miles and miles away from them. And yes to Mare Island. Shipbuilding is a regional effort -- if Solano Shipyard happens, it makes it easier to bring maritime back to Mare Island too.

Yes, build more ships get thousands of California's something to do beside drugs and alcohol, Give them the opportunity for the American dream, like many of California's used to have for the Aerospace industry in El Segundo California and Surrounding Areas.

I appreciate your desire to build ships, but I can tell you that building quality ships is far more complicated than you know. The Navy is incapable of getting out of their own way, and youโ€™ll never get a conventional capable yard built in 10 years, let alone nuclear capable.

As a company, we're building a platform for others to build, including shipbuilders. If America decides to actually do something about the 5 vs 1,000+ ships per year America vs China issue, it will require profound changes to our maritime industry. Our job is to create the best place to build something big. Whether we as a country really decide to do that, that's not up to us!

After WWII, the US began reducing its # of ships. The yards that continued building emerged as the very best. But without a government increased demand for ships, no existing yard will invest in infrastructure to support more building. Weโ€™ve worked to get Australia building now.

California is too expensive. Build a shipyard in a more affordable state, ideally in the south like Alabama, Louisiana or Mississippi.

Hate to break it to you but China is on the Pacific. In any conflict, first thing that happens is Panama Canal gets bombed and then we need west coast shipyards.
