I spent some time there in the 80s and they did good work. If you want to bring the ship maintenance industry back onto a “wartime footing” We will have to look at both contracting processes and support for yards. They don’t have a lot of margin. Perhaps even direct investment. A lot cheaper than building one from scratch! Great post!

Thanks! I think we do have work to do with the contracting processes, to be sure.
This just seemed like a real no-brainier way to rapidly get more shipyard capacity... it's practically turn-key.

Thank you! It never made sense to me to close down so many facilities...everything about history should have shown us that we would need them again...
