Trump’s new Shipbuilding Office will be a game-changer! The naysayers claim we need massive drydocks that take years to build - wrong. Here’s the billion-dollar ship my team and I built in S Korea with just a parking lot, floating pier and a crane barge. 🇺🇸🚢👇

John, how is SK and Japan able to build ships and we are not?? What is / are the root causes?? Apologies if you have already done a thread on this, but i would like to understand the real problems! Thanks!!

Many reasons but the first is culture Lots of loafing around in US yards and the unions get blamed but it’s the red tape and change orders slowing things down

Dive into the critical issues shaping economic policy, from President-elect Trump’s sweeping tariff proposals to the challenges Texas faces under rising government spending. Now is the time for bold reforms to protect taxpayers and ensure economic freedom thrives.

Why is it in today's world that the first response to a challenge is to run away because there are hard problems to solve? Yeah, be creative. Also, start building more dry docks asap.

Sir, you are quickly becoming one of my favorite people. (Not that that matters) We are only as strong as our Navy and it's nice to see someone actually giving a damn. Thank you,Sir

Let’s build the marines a few good amphibs! Oorah 🇺🇸

DEI managers can just learn to weld

@johnkonrad what companies do you believe will benefit from Trump's focus on shipbuilding?

$GD and $HII for sure I have been asking the big banks to start hiring a shipyard analyst for the last year. Maybe this will convince them. In the meantime @MarineMoney and @mintzmyer have limited coverage

Where will the steel come from? Blast oxygen furnace or electric arc furnace mills?
