Ships Costing U.S. $37 Billion Lack Firepower, Navy Told
By David Lerman - Mar 28, 2013

It's our money being wasted. Why are you gloating?

----------------------------------------

I read an article about the cost overruns on these ships a month or
so
ago. It bothered me that the two versions are being built by
companies owned (in one case) by a foreign country (Italy) and the
other as a joint venture or something with a company in Australia.

Why aren't American warships built by Americans?

We may not have the capacity to build the ships.

--------------------------------------

That's damn scary.

Not really. At the beginning of WW II we didn't have the "capacity"
either until factories and facilities that were making other things re-
tooled to help in the effort (and make a lot of money in the process).
