Navy shipyards already have big problems. They can’t meet quality requirements or deadlines. Hope this doesn’t make things worse.

The only problem with Duncan for president is that we need him in congress, too!

Great. Now all of our ships will take 3 times longer to build and cost 4 times as much.

Well the good news is that Chinese spys, em “workers”, won’t be continuing to steal our technology.
The bad news is that American shipyards have long had problems with meeting budgets and delivery schedules.

Waaaaay back in my Navy days, our ship was going through a “yard period” - First in drydock in Long Beach, followed by shipyard work at National Steel & Shipbuilding in San Diego, just down the road from the 32nd Street Naval Station.
More than half the shipyard workers were Wetbacks - yep, that’s what they were called back then so don’t give me any PC correction therapy.
Lot of guys I knew then talked about going to work “in the yards” when they got out. I left the area and went north and became a plumber.

The amendment also requires that the United States Navy identify shipyards with potential labor surpluses within the next five years as part of its annual shipbuilding plan, so that shipyards may better identify where additional workers can be recruited. There are only two shipyards building non-nuclear surface ships, two building nuclear submarines, and one building nuclear surface ships. I doubt that they have a surplus of workers.

The bad news is that American shipyards have long had problems with meeting budgets and delivery schedules. Considering the lack of competition where is the incentive for them to meet schedule OR budget?

Say what you will, but I have certain "objections" (to put it lightly) with foriegners working on the naval facet of America's military.
