Five Key Facts About the SHIPS for America Act December 19, 2024 In this episode, Sal Mercogliano—a maritime historian at Campbell University (@campbelledu) and former merchant mariner — discusses the new Shipbuilding and Harbor Infrastructure for Prosperity and Security (SHIPS) for America Act introduced by a bipartisan group in Congress that aims to create a National Maritime Strategy, expand the U.S. Merchant Marine, provide Shipyard Investments, facilitate Workforce Development and lead to the Next-Generation Innovations in shipping. 1.

THE DEATH OF S.S. UNITED STATES, THE FASTEST PASSENGER SHIP IN WORLD HISTORY CAN IT BE SAVED? On November 14, 2024, tugs boats will be attaching their lines to S.S. United States, the fastest passenger ship in history, and will guide her from pier 82 to pier 80 in South Philadelphia; the next day, on November 15th, around 7 am, she will be maneuvered from the port into the Delaware River at low tide. (She is so enormous that her main stack will not clear under the bridges otherwise); she will head down the Delaware River to Delaware Bay to the Atlantic Ocean. She will be tugged to Mobile, Alabama to be scuttled. Eventually, this ocean liner - "Queen of the Sea" - will be sunk in the Gulf of Mexico. The Okaloosa County Commissioners in Florida acquired the title to this majestic ship, and a decision has been made to transform it into a coral reef. No one was able to make S.S. United States into a maritime museum or a floating hotel or some other business enterprise. Where’s the U.S. Maritime Administration to put the brakes on disposal pending a review of further service potential? Why couldn't the Department of Defense or the U.S. Navy use this magnificent ship in service of current and future capabilities? With minimal investment from industry or government the S.S. United States could be preserved for the sake of the American people. https://lnkd.in/eibg9jJf

The Jerry Hendrix essay in AMERICAN AFFAIRS JOURNAL INC is a must read for anyone who is interested in the capability and capacity of our Navy to respond to the emerging threat in 7th Fleet (China/Taiwan). After reading the essay, listen to the excellent podcast discussion with Christopher Cavas & Chris Servello for further expansion and discussion of the ideas presented in the essay. We need our US Navy attack submarines to be at full programmed operational readiness. We need action, not another GAO Report, to get us there.
