Barack Obama has signed off on a deal for a West Australian company to build 10 warships for the US navy. This translates into how many American jobs???????????

Are these different from Independence and Freedom?

They are built in Austal’s boatyard in Alabama (I think that’s where it is. They are defiantly built in the US).

No doubt the bill was sponsored by John Kerry.

So, they couldnt find an American company to do this? Exactly my point. American ingenuity just got a slap in the face by the self-proclaimed jobs-creator.

The Independence is the first of the Austal-designed ships.

Both LCS variants have foreign antecedents with designs being licensed to US companies.

So, they couldnt find an American company to do this? Austal design and build the best high speed trimarans in the world.

By union labor.That goes without saying in ship building and aircraft manufacturing.

Austral was teemed with General Dynamics.

We don't have time to design/build war ships in the US anymore. We need to devote that time and manpower to filling out forms due to Fed regulations. We also have tons of solar panels and windmills to build. Anyone else feel we are not the same country we were a couple years ago?
