🌊 The Herculean Effort to Boost American Shipbuilding 🚢
In a recent compelling episode of War on the Rocks' podcast "Congress at Sea," Sen. Mark Kelly from Arizona and Rep. Michael G. Waltz from Florida discuss their cross-party initiative to rejuvenate the U.S. shipbuilding industry and enhance our maritime strategy.
Despite coming from vastly different backgrounds — a landlocked state and a coastal state — both leaders are uniting to push forward transformative policies that aim to strengthen America's naval capabilities and economic resilience. Their discussion with host Ryan Evans sheds light on the potential impacts of revitalizing this crucial sector and the strategic advantages it could bring on a global scale.
This initiative is a prime example of how bipartisan cooperation can lead to significant national advancements. As professionals in the maritime, defense, and policy sectors, it's essential to engage with and support such efforts that aim to secure our national interests and promote industry growth.
