Kuenne and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the U.S. shipbuilding industry and also contains a brief overview of the Soviet industry, allowing comparisons between the two. It is concluded that shipbuilding, due to the nature of its product, is an industry which survives in the U.S. only because of direct and indirect subsidization and naval work. Indications are that continuation of recent trends will lead to attrition of yards from the industry in the next decade. Increased profit margins on naval work and more stable yard workloads might reduce this risk. The physical facilities, labor force, and materials/components supplier base of the U.S. industry are examined with an eye towards those factors which might constrain shipbuilding output. It appears that sufficient facilities exist to accommodate a substantial surge in overall demand. Given time, enough labor is obtainable for a surge, although regional shortages could occur over the short-to-medium term. Priorities, incentives, or outright government production might be necessary to ensure provision of materials, components, and weapons systems. Confirms that the current U.S. industry is capable of effecting significant increases in Navy force levels, although such buildups would require at least 10-17 years. Large or rapid buildups would require re-entry of navy and many repair-only yards into new construction work due to a shortage of nuclear, complex combatant, and largehull capacity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. shipbuilding industry now confronts grave challenges in providing essential support of national objectives. With recent emphasis on renewal of the U.S. naval fleet, followed by the defense builddown, U.S. shipbuilders have fallen far behind in commercial ship construction, and face powerful new competition from abroad. This book examines ways to reestablish the U.S. industry, to provide a technology base and R&D infrastructure sustaining both commercial and military goals. Comparing U.S. and foreign shipbuilders in four technological areas, the authors find that U.S. builders lag most severely in business process technologies, and in technologies of new products and materials. New advances in system technologies, such as simulation, are also needed, as are continuing developments in shipyard production technologies. The report identifies roles that various government agencies, academia, and, especially, industry itself must play for the U.S. shipbuilding industry to attempt a turnaround.
