The Pentagon needs a third shipyard that can build nuclear-powered ships so the U.S. can keep pace with China and Russia’s nuclear modernization, a congressional commission said in a new report published Thursday.
A third private shipyard would expand industry’s capacity to build nuclear-powered submarines, therefore bolstering U.S. strategic forces, according to the Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States.
The commission suggests the Pentagon “increase shipbuilding capacity, by working with industry to establish or renovate a third shipyard dedicated to production of nuclear-powered vessels, with particular emphasis on nuclear-powered submarines,” according to the report.

So much for Clinton’s Peace Dividend.
With Uniparty leadership doing everything possible to pick world wars with both China and Russia not to mention pushing a regional war in the ME, US defense industry needs to go 1943 on the rest of the world.
So you don’t think that the U.S. needs more naval shipyards after 3 decades of BRAC?
With both China and Russia producing hypersonic missiles we had better get on the ball and soon. Submarines, not just the big boomers but all subs, are going to be critical in the future and are good platforms for special operations and deployment of drones. The more capable we are in this kind of pinpoint work, the less likely it will be for things to blow up into major conflicts.
...even though these criminal politicians have already put the country $33 trillion in debt and counting.
The cold war began about 80 years ago. In order to shorten a war, the US helped Russia so much that it became an advancing army which conquered Berlin before the other allies arrived, and at the time had extensive network of spies in America and DC, soon had The Bomb. Since then we have been fighting proxy wars with Russia, as it the case now.
As the need for a shipyard, well, the reality is that Today, Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of HII, is the nation's sole designer, builder and refueler of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and one of only two shipyards capable of designing and building nuclear-powered submarines. - https://hii.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Fact-File-NNS-May-2023.pdf
However, the West itself is also at war with God, one it cannot win, and partly in order to get votes, it has largely transferred its vast manufacturing capacity to China, which along is able to sustain a prolonged war.
China has built a capacity to sustain a protracted war of any type. More directly, China is well-postured to sustain a protracted high intensity war of attrition. The United States is not currently capable of doing so. - T2023 THE DANGERS OF A PROTRACTED WAR WITH CHINA War Room - U.S. Army War College - https://warroom.armywarcollege.edu/articles/stubborn-things/
1. A nation can overcome adversity, and affliction, but none I know overcame great prosperity in its various earthly forms. Rare is the person who gains the latter and does not lose spiritual and moral Christian values. Yet God requires us to overcome what takes away faith.
“Religion begat prosperity and the daughter devoured the mother.” - Attributed to Cotton Mather alarmed by the trend toward materialism in New England Society
Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart. (Hosea 4:11)
2. As American increasingly became post-Christian, so it increasingly becomes anti-Christian, adopting the demonic perversions of all the God ordained. As we sadly see daily and more so.
They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. (Hosea 8:4)
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. (Hosea 8:12)
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. (Hosea 8:3)
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. (Hosea 8:14)Every generation since perhaps 1950 has been the most Biblically ignorant, morally confused and mislead generation America has ever raised, with each other surpassing the previous one. Now we are seeing the 3rd generation in the voting booth since so-called "the greatest generation."
3. One of those is contraception, which goes with abortion. Without these two practices alone and the welfare which fosters broken homes, there could be a partial social revolution, of actual families of more than 1.6 children if at all, and learning to share, tolerate, interact, endure difficulties, build character, initiative. etc.
4. The growth of secular, anti-Christ media. Never before has there been a media so pervasive, perverted and persuasive since perhaps Pompeii, though we do have sane as well as sacred alternatives, thank God.
I stand by my statement. The Uniparty warmongers have warmongered us into such a dangerous position that we need “go 1943” on defense spending, 40% of GDP. Anything less will leave us at risk in your brave new globalist/neocon world. Of course, the other option is to vote your globalist/neocon fellow travelers out.
That Cold War ended with the fall of the Soviet Union thirty years ago. You’ll need to attempt to peddle your revisionist BS elsewhere.
You’d have a hard time convincing me this country needs even two naval shipyards to produce nuclear-powered ships, let alone three.
We’ve had two republicans since then. No changes since Clinton?
That's a pretty ignorant statement. No naval shipyards, and no U.S. Navy.
Guess how many shipyards the ChiComs have?
US can’t keep up with China’s warship building, Navy Secretary says

And don’t bother quoting the U.S. Navy Secretary here. He has no more credibility than a CDC or FDA director claiming that everyone should get a COVID vaccine and a weekly booster.
The dude in that position already has his post-government career at Huntington Ingalls, NASSCO or Lockheed Martin lined up.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La), Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev..), and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) What did you expect?

20 years to build it?
25 Far be it from You to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Will not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?”
26 So the LORD replied, “If I find fifty righteous ones within the city of Sodom, on their account I will spare the whole place.”
So far - so good.
Nope
And we haven’t had peace since then either.
That probably won’t happen since it will take money away from supporting all the illegal aliens that Joe Birdbrain has allowed in.
