This is a VERY good article.
 It takes more than money to build a new class, especially with governments that tout concepts like "limited government" and "austerity spending". These types of shipyards can only thrive when the government is ready to spend the money. Quote:
Back in 2009 I dropped my resume on Electric Boat just to see what would happen. E-B is mostly famous for not hiring former sailors. Yeah, we know how to run the boat but that's a lot different than building one. Sure enough, I brought my degree in EE plus my quals and experience in QA/QC and they thanked me for thinking of them while they pointed to the door I would use to exit.  This was when they were just gearing up to build the Virginia class SSNs. |
