The shipbuilding industry is critical to both national security and global stability. The U.S. industry, however, is not globally competitive in the production of large oceangoing vessels and depends on government procurement and a protected domestic market to remain viable. The limited commercial market, combined with a decline in Navy shipbuilding, has resulted in excess production capacity, underutilized larger shipyards and high vessel costs. The combination of high vessel costs and limited budgets, in turn, threatens the Navy's ability to meet its stated goal of a 313-ship fleet by 2020. There are no easy solutions to the dilemma, but there are a number of steps the U.S. Government (USG) can take to bolster this critical component of the defense industrial base.
