US Navy Looking to S. Korean, Japanese Shipbuilders to Revive American Shipyards. Again, the question has been asked before, “How can the US go to war when it has no industrial capacity?” As I said before, Korea, Japan, India, and other client states will do the heavy lifting.

Similar to how the US claims Taiwan province’s chip manufacture as its own, to promote or destroy, here’s another example of US’s brazen appropriation of foreign industrial capacity–US Navy Secretary: “South Korea’s ship building is an asset for the US”.

“Revive” here means “annex”, “requisition” the productive manufacturing capacities of quisling states to produce for US war.

WASHINGTON —
The United States is looking to Korean and Japanese shipbuilders to help revive its dormant naval shipyards and boost maritime competitiveness in the face of China’s accelerated naval buildup.

U.S. Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro toured shipyards in South Korea operated by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan and Hanwha Ocean on Geoje Island last week.

He encouraged top executives of the companies to establish subsidiaries and “invest” resources in integrating commercial and naval shipbuilding facilities in the U.S., said a statement by the Navy.

During a speech at Harvard University in September, Del Toro called for “new maritime statecraft” to prevail in an era of intense strategic competition.

South Korean shipbuilding is “an asset” to the U.S. “as China continues to aggressively pursue worldwide shipbuilding dominance,” said the Navy statement issued during Del Toro’s East Asia visit.
