Universe Apollo, first 100,000 DWT supertanker, built by National Bulk Carriers at Kure, Japan. During WWII, the US constructed an unprecedented shipbuilding machine. By assembling ships from welded, prefabricated blocks, the US built a huge number of cargo ships incredibly quickly, overwhelming Germany’s u-boats and helping to win the war. But when the war was over, this shipbuilding machine was dismantled. Industrialists like Henry Kaiser and Stephen Bechtel, who operated some of the US’s mos

This is a policy proposal written by Austin Vernon and myself for improving US naval shipbuilding. It was produced for Rebuilding.tech, a techno-industrial policy playbook curated by IFP, FAI, and American Compass. USS Iowa, one of the many WWII-era ships designed in-house by the Navy. US Naval vessels today regularly take far longer to build than scheduled, and greatly exceed their already-high cost estimates.

Among the most impressive manufacturing achievements of the US during WWII was the number of ships it produced. Prior to the war, the American shipbuilding industry had been moribund. Shipyards had been busy during and immediately following WWI, but the huge flood of wartime ships greatly reduced demand for new ones, and American shipyards didn’t produce a single oceangoing hull between 1922 and 1928. The onset of the Great Depression only made things worse, and by 1935 annual tonnage produced b

The one thing Elon Musk really can’t have right now as he serves as the absentee CEO of Tesla is more negative attention—not only can his ego not handle it, as a recent report from the Washington Post suggested, but his car company’s reputation really cannot suffer any more hits. So it’s hard to imagine he’s thrilled about Extinction Rebellion, the occasionally controversial environmental movement, spray painting the windows of Tesla dealerships with anti-Musk messaging at a time when his tarnis
