Maybe (sort of?) item #7 addresses the shortage of sealift/oilers, but beyond a mention of the fuel supply issue brought in by Red Hill, there isn’t much talk to address the MSC crisis. It is not just the Navy, but the US Maritime industry that needs more…of everything; ships, people, and the yards and skilled shipwrights to support them.
My grandpa is rolling in his grave. He spent 30 years as a shipwright at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and was very proud of what they did to support the Navy.
