Trump’s focus on Navy shipbuilding needed, but it's not enough

By CAITLYN BURCHETT   STARS AND STRIPES • March 12, 2025

WASHINGTON — The creation of the White House’s shipbuilding office could help get Navy shipbuilding on track, but the U.S. won’t catch up to China dominating the industry without a multidecade whole-of-government and commercial sector approach, according to a defense analyst.

“I do believe that presidential-level attention is what is needed to make it happen,” said Cynthia Cook, defense analyst for the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think tank based in Washington. “That said, there’s a lot of other things in the industrial base we are going to need.”

President Donald Trump announced last week during his national address to Congress that he would create a White House shipbuilding office. The office, he said, will aim to “resurrect the American shipbuilding industry.” Trump said the U.S. once had a great domestic shipbuilding industry, which is greatly diminished now. That will change, he promised. “We used to make so many ships. We don’t make them anymore, very much,” Trump said. “But we’re going to make them very fast, very soon.”

Error Occurred While Processing Request

Could not find the included template template_sponsors_basement.cfm.

Note: If you wish to use an absolute template path (for example, template="/mypath/index.cfm") with CFINCLUDE, you must create a mapping for the path using the ColdFusion Administrator. Or, you can use per-application settings to specify mappings specific to this application by specifying a mappings struct to THIS.mappings in Application.cfc.
Using relative paths (for example, template="index.cfm" or template="../index.cfm") does not require the creation of any special mappings. It is therefore recommended that you use relative paths with CFINCLUDE whenever possible.
