SCA President Matthew Paxton in The Associated Press: "We’ve been dealing with inconsistent shipbuilding plans for years. When we finally start ramping up, the Navy is shocked that we lost members of our workforce.” Read more about how labor shortages, shifting defense priorities, frequent design changes and cost overruns have led to a significant shipbuilding crisis in the U.S. https://lnkd.in/enzWD_aD

SCA President Matthew Paxton opines in Breaking Defense about the necessity of strengthening the U.S. shipbuilding industry by investing domestically rather than outsourcing to foreign shipyards. He argues that to maintain global maritime dominance and address the growing threat from China’s expanding navy, the U.S. must build and repair its naval fleet within the country. "There is a lot at stake. Our sailors safeguard the seas and protect the livelihoods of everyday Americans and billions around the globe. America’s sailors deserve the best ships we can provide them — those ships are built and maintained in America by American workers in American shipyards. Navy leaders should not outsource our national security but should grow the fleet of the future here in America." Read more below! https://lnkd.in/gFCh2vcK

Breaking Defense recently covered how the optimistic portrayal of outsourcing Navy shipbuilding and repair doesn’t match reality. Outsourcing these jobs will weaken national security and lead to fewer good-paying jobs here while benefiting other countries' economies. SCA’s President, Matthew Paxton, and Vice President, Paula Zorensky, note that comparisons to other industries should account for the unique challenges American shipyards face. https://lnkd.in/gseQG4r5
