U.S. shipbuilding industry is one of the nation’s most under appreciated and underutilized resources. Shipbuilding in major U.S. shipyards employs some 100,000 workers, but supports an additional 500,000 jobs, by conservative estimates, in the shipbuilding supply chain that includes companies in each of the 50 states providing a vast array of materials and supplies critical to the shipbuilding industry.
