The National Shipbuilding Research Program. 1995 Ship Production Symposium. Paper No. 3: Economics and Management of American Shipbuilding and the Potential for Commercial Competitiveness

Abstract

Defense conversion and commercial shipbuilding competitiveness have become major goals of the government in maintaining the U.S. shipbuilding base. The government enacted the National Shipbuilding and Shipyard Conversion Act of 1993, established a National Shipbuilding Initiative, disbursed ARPA funds for various enhancement projects, and provided support to the industry through Maritech. Yet these initiatives may not help to revive the industry and reestablish it as world class.
