The United States produces the best military warships in the world but remains uncompetitive in the production of large commercial vessels. As a maritime nation, continued preeminence in military warship construction is an essential element of the National Security Strategy. The lack of a viable commercial shipbuilding industry does not directly impact the National Security Strategy. However, the cost of maintaining excess military shipbuilding and repair capacity and the costs associated with maintaining a non-competitive commercial shipbuilding industry do impose increasingly high opportunity costs on national security resources.
