This sounds good on paper but the asian efficiencies aren't a secret. They have the trained workforces and we don't. It's true across the construction space. High speed rail, chip faabs, etc. We offshored all the manufacturing and are now multiple generations removed from having enough institutional knowledge in our workforce. It will similarly take many years (and a lot of money) to build this capacity back up.

It is not just about the workforce. I believe the US has enough skilled labor to match the Chinese and Koreans, but the main issue is the industrial ecosystem. There are a lot components that go into shipbuilding, and it wouldn't do you much good if your skilled labor still has to import chips and other important components all the way from Taiwan, and other Asian countries.

This workforce is also really cheap because all the salaries as well as the cost of living in the country are much lower than even the cheapest US states not to speak of the East and West Coasts where the shipyards are located. Moreover, Koreans, like Japanese and Taiwanese, live in an overtime culture (until 2018 they worked 52-h weeks instead of 40-h). There is no way the US can copy that, hence no way American shipbuilders are competitive in commercial shipbuilding, therefore not much improvement is possible in military shipbuilding as well (those are coupled)

An important note to make. The number of battle force ships it’s important, quite important in fact, but it does not tell the whole story. The tonnage of the US Navy is double that of China, and the number of Chinese warships that match American ones is currently only a few dozen. This doesn’t mean China can or isn’t catching up, though. Its tonnage added per year equate to an entire French Navy, so this is still an important issue to tackle.

the difference is not as significant as you think. chinese naval policy is focused on regional dominance and littoral warfare, not playing global policeman. US has significantly more tonnage, yes, but it is distributed across the globe in many places simultaneously. china has plans to enlarge to 6 aircraft carriers, and currently has 3+3 LHDs. China does not need too many vessels when they have extremely potent ASM capabilities. the issue is that US naval dominance in the pacific is being challenged... US only has 1 active CSG in the region currently, and 2 other ARGs... this force cannot match that of the chinese navy

While I believe we should probably repeal that 1965 protectionist law, (then buy frigates and Corvettes and destroyers from South Korea spending the money on outfitting them with better electronics / weapons and submarines from Sweden) this is a bit alarmist but all the facts should be known. For the record the US should be a little bit alarmed.

Change the 1965 protection law so US can buy hulls (and non-critical components) built to their specification from trusted allies. Then bring the ships to American yards and fit it out with the latest and greatest radars, sensors, and weapons. This should save costs, build up domestic industry and help with employment while at the same time cut construction time and prevent unwanted top secret tech from being copied. In the long run the US may even be able to build ships without relying on foreign yards.

A few corrections: China has 3 liquid-powered carriers, not coal. The PLAN isn't interested in patrolling shipping lanes, unlike the US Navy, hence the need for nuclear carriers. The PLAN has also shied away from building a large fleet of carriers, given their vulnerability and large number of assets they consume - escort ships, subs and aircraft. Though, it's observed they see owning a nuclear-carrier as a way of showcasing themselves as a superpower. China has already made the US carrier groups inert by developing vast arsenals of missiles that can keep US carriers out of aircraft range of the Chinese coast. Leaving them exposed to the growing threat of China's submarines.

Korean yards can also do MRO work for existing USN ships for starters and then if they do a good job and do it cheaply the US can invite them to take over an old yard or set up a new one in the US like what the Italians have done. Such a move will mean everything is built in the USA. The US will have total oversight on construction, be able to create more jobs while better competing with China in warship numbers. The Koreans will be happy because they will have a steady stream of work from Uncle Sam.

That's not necessarily true. Their newer ships all have ASEA radar like Arleigh Berk.

When was the last time US fought a modern navy with similar equipment? People always talk big game but never have facts to back it up. A lot of things are speculation like your ballpark 3-4x as much comment out of no where. I can name a few facts that are logical. 1) Chinese carrier operation is definitely new. It takes a lot of training/practice to be successful. Even US navy often had accidents landing. So it's fair to assume Chinese training needs more work. 2) Their systems are all new for their crews, so even if we assume radar tech is same level we can assume their operational efficiency isn't as strong. So your comment about better damage control is probably a fair one.

Naval vessels in comparison can be out at sea for 6 months at a time and can have nearly an unlimited range. You can't do that with current drone technology. You can leave drones out as mines or for surveillance but it doesn't compare to a Naval warship. The ships are used to enforce international trade laws and to protect assets from piracy. If you removed warships, then your own trade vessels can be subject to piracy.

Korea was a dictatorship at first but it had the seeds of the transition to democracy), because if we didn't defend them back in the 50's then we wouldn't have their help now. Same goes for Ukraine, if we don't help defend Ukraine now then we won't have them as allies in the future.

The world's largest shipyard is China Shipbuilding Corporation. Placing the construction of important assets on the front lines of war like in South Korea is a huge mistake. Very susceptible to fatal blows.

It's that when anything computer science or AI would pay easily over $100000, and with many sources of revenue generating platforms these days such as KZitem, manufacturing in general seems it fell out of favor. It's almost impossible for US ship building to be as competitive as one in China. Let our allies build the ship for now so we can stay in the lead in the future

What China calls ships the rest of the world calls sloops. They are padding their numbers with them. If you want real numbers, look at displaced tonnage. Completely different ball game.

US Shipyards: Demand highest price and salary first. But repeated delays, and resulted failed warships. Asian Shipyards: Accept lower price and salary. But produced faster than scheduled, and good warships.

Nope. That's why America loses wars. In a war between two near peer or equal peer adversaries, it ALWAYS ends in a slug fest. It always does. From World War 1 - World War 2 to Ukraine. How can you say quality is better when America literally uses the QUANTITY military strategy that helped them win World War 2, - the same strategy that America talks bad about today? What do you think the arsenal of democracy EVEN IS? What do you think the SHERMAN TANK EVEN IS? It's QUANTITY, NOT QUALITY that wins wars between near peer / equal peer adversaries. There is NO discussion here. Which is exactly why Ukraine at the moment is losing looking at Pro-Ukrainian war maps. They are running low on manpower and has little to no manufacturing capacity to speak of. You guys always said about sending Ukraine MORE ARMS. Um....what do you think "MORE" arms mean? It means QUANTITY, because Ukraine DOES NOT have enough arms. And more arms require what? More FACTORIES and INDUSTRIAL POWER. It is what it is.

How survivable is that S. Korean destroyer tho. It bugs me how low the survivability on US warships has become. You can't have it both ways, either they're low survivability in high volume or high survivability in lower volume. Smaller fleet that can't take hits cuz they trust the defensive missile screens and ciws to handle incoming threats.

Doesn't a navy mostly exist for posturing? In the event of a conflict, most of these ships will be easy targets for modern weaponry, first and foremost. Taiwan as an island is exposed to naval attacks, but only to a degree. Land based defense system, long range planes and missiles can be precise and efficient at a more rational cost of deployment in terms of people and funds.

They aren't comparing apples to apples though. Clearly China is catching up on carrier side, both from ship and training perspective. If they just want to talk firepower they should compare systems, such as number of vertical launchers and number of missiles available and production capability of all of those things.

If we look at statistics, the USA is always miles ahead of any country including China. I find these comparison videos trying to vie China and the USA very sill tbh. China has to feed 4 times the population of the USA with no allies. USA however is already an advanced economy in every department. Look at its overseas territories, military might, and several bases all over the world. Can China match it? I don't think so, even with all the ways China is trying to catch up.
