This country used to be built by craftsman, engineers, and doctors. Now it’s people in suits who act like they’re smart

USA didn't lost ship building to China, they lost it long before China. in 1960 to 1990 the leading Ship builder was Japan, In 2000 the leaders were Japan and South Korea, Only in 2010 China became the top builder.
