“If maritime defense cooperation with the U.S. becomes full-fledged, we can build up to five ships per year, and there is room for further expansion,” Woo-man Jeong, managing director of the Specialized Ship Business Unit at HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, told the publication last month. “We have over 250 engineers who can design and build Aegis ships with the same performance as the U.S. HD Hyundai Heavy Industries is the only shipbuilder in Korea that directly designs and builds Aegis ships. It is also directly building five of the six Aegis ships that the Korean Navy will possess.”

Unreal..one cant be a great power if you cant control the seas..why we must reindustrialize.

We struggle with 2 Burkes year, yet SK has excess capacity for 5 plus..mind blown how we let this stuff atrophy.

The Hyundai cars have come a long way. Some of them are quite good, especially the engines. Genesis models all are quite fast as well. Hopefully they build us a bunch of Aegis ships. Cruise missiles are extremely effective IMO.

BREAKING NEWS: Bombshell new report reveals who made fatal mistake that caused Black Hawk to collide with jet and kill 67​

The pilot of the Black Hawk helicopter that collided with the American Airlines passenger airplane did not comply with directions to change course seconds before the fatal incident, a bombshell new report has revealed.

On the night of January 29, Army Black Hawk pilot Capt. Rebecca Lobach was conducting an annual flight evaluation with her co-pilot Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, who was serving as her flight instructor.

Three months on, new details published by The New York Times revealed that the pilot made more than one mistake leading to one of the worst catastrophes in aviation history.

Not only was Lobach flying her Black Hawk too high, but in the final moments before the impact, she failed to take advice and instruction from her co-pilot to switch course.

Lobach's piloting skills were being tested during the evaluation on the fateful night, before the crew were informed that an aircraft was nearby, according to the report.

Just 15 seconds before colliding with the commercial airplane, air traffic control told Lobach and Eaves to turn left, but she did not do so.

Seconds before impact, co-pilot Eaves then turned to Lobach in the cockpit and told her that air traffic control wanted her to turn left. She still did not do so.

Investigators may never know why Lobach did not change course that day.

So it was intentional as I guessed early in this thread. When both the tower AND the instructor right next to you (that outranks you) give you a direct order to change course....and you refuse to do so, while making a beeline directly into the landing flightpath of a passenger jet...that is intentional disobedience/suicide/domestic terrorism. Take your pick.

It’s why I’ve been banging the drum for Japanese & Korean builds for years now.

Don’t tell Hog I’m pushing foreign shipyards again…

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Just watched Mike Rowe talking about one of the contractors that has to deliver 3 submarines per year to the Navy. He said they need to hire 140,000 workers in the next 9 years alone. Welders, electricians, pipe fitters etc.

I'm slowly changing my tune on that. Ideally we'd open up build contracts to domestic non-union shipyards first before having them built overseas.

I’m gonna check it out. The South Pacific campaigns were just brutal.

Guadalcanal was a lot like Kursk on Eastern Front.

On Eastern Front, Stalingrad gets all the attention and it was a major turning point but Stalingrad stopped the German Army, it didn't defeat it. It was a Kursk where the German Army was truly beaten and it started the wave of Soviet Offensives that pushed all the way to Berlin. (Also, El Alamein doesn't quite get enough credit for how it broke the Germans and Italians in Africa. The final surrender of the Africa Corp in Tunisia saw more Axis troops lost than at Stalingrad. I don't think it gets as much attention because 60-70% of that force was Italian and not German but it was the end of Italy as an Axis power).

Similarly, in the Pacific. The Japanese were stopped at Midway and it was a turning point. Midway gets all the credit.

However, it was at Guadalcanal were the US truly started to break the Japanese. Japan actually lost far more ships and material at Guadalcanal than Midway and the Japanese Government cited to Guadalcanal as a bigger defeat.

actually having them built overseas would diminish their power and maybe make concessions, but that is probably wishful thinking..Union leadership has not shown themselves very pragmatic in decades past while their entire industry crumbles around them.
