[Main Content] 1. What is the state of the naval power competition between the US and China? “Why does the US operate expensive aircraft carriers? Because of the development of artificial satellites and China’s missile systems.” 2. How serious is the US shipbuilding industry? “The US has determined that the shipbuilding industry is in crisis.” “Until the end of World War II, US shipbuilding led the world shipbuilding industry, but after the end of the Cold War, the US shipbuilding industry began to decline significantly.” “If a war breaks out, large ships are important, but you also need ships that can survive. In that sense, the US is at a disadvantage.” 3. The Navy’s assessment of the K-shipbuilding industry “For the first time, we are in a kind of superior position, and I evaluate that as the US being the first case to issue an SOS to us.” 4. The profitable US warship maintenance project: “Korea can now be trusted because they deliver (ships) on time.” After that, they said they would check everything by looking at the repairs that had been made so far. Then, they said that they would be able to build new ships as well (they say).” 5. To what extent can our country build ships? “We can build ships excluding aircraft carriers and nuclear-powered submarines.” “Our country’s shipbuilding capabilities are top class.” 6. Our country’s submarine technology capabilities: “I think our diesel submarines are the best in the world.” “If Trump wants to negotiate with our country, he will have to talk about uranium.” “Our country has the ability to build nuclear submarines.” 7. Submarine exports “There are still orders for Canadian submarines left.” #USNavy #Shipbuilding #DefenseIndustry
