Breaking Defense: In War, Chinese Shipyards Could Outpace US in Replacing Losses; Marine Commandant
“Replacing ships lost in combat will be problematic," Marine Commandant Gen. David Berger writes in a forthcoming paper. "Our industrial base has shrunk while peer adversaries have expanded their shipbuilding capacity. In an extended conflict, the United States will be on the losing end of a production race.”
WASHINGTON: The Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. David Berger, dismisses current Marine and Navy plans for amphibious ships as “obsolete,” and worries that in any conflict, China could replace damaged ships faster than the US in a draft operating concept obtained by Breaking Defense.
The warnings are the latest in a campaign waged by the reform-minded Berger to overhaul how the Marine Corps trains and equips to meet the challenges of China and other advanced nations, while working more closely with the other armed services and allies around the globe.

WNU Editor: Americans are still surprisingly ignorant in not realizing how massive China's industrial base has become in the past 20 years. This is what happens when your industrial base moves to another country. Fortunately for the US this US Marine commander is aware of this industrial shortfall.

Any shipyard will be targeted in the first hour of an all out war. Half an hour later it'll be the east coast. Likely silicon valley area where much of the modern knowledge/digital workers are. I've warned of this years ago with a likely north Korea initiated attack, under the protection of China (there will of course be the typical disinformation campaign. Democrats will blame Trump's north Korea policy while the Chinese kill you by the millions. Then research papers, financed by China, will be written declaring the bomb came from Iran. Then north Korea. Kim will ofc not be at home. His body double will be made into nuclear dust. He will enjoy a very rich very comfortable life in the north of China)
We already see that during WWII in Europe when German's and British's was bombing the industry of the other.
I don't know for the next war, but at war time we can do "impossible" things.
Also, what America is waiting for making more shipyard even "bukerised" one's? We have the same problem for all other branches of our military.
Wait? How long does war last? Does the United States lose the South China Sea? Are all the ships that are lost from United States? So many variables .
