Book Description
The U.S. shipbuilding industry now confronts grave challenges in providing essential support of national objectives. With recent emphasis on renewal of the U.S. naval fleet, followed by the defense builddown, U.S. shipbuilders have fallen far behind in commercial ship construction, and face powerful new competition from abroad. This book examines ways to reestablish the U.S. industry, to provide a technology base and R&D infrastructure sustaining both commercial and military goals. Comparing U.S. and foreign shipbuilders in four technological areas, the authors find that U.S. builders lag most severely in business process technologies, and in technologies of new products and materials. New advances in system technologies, such as simulation, are also needed, as are continuing developments in shipyard production technologies. The report identifies roles that various government agencies, academia, and, especially, industry itself must play for the U.S. shipbuilding industry to attempt a turnaround.

Book Description
Excerpt from On Technological Education and the Construction of Ships and Screw Propellers, for Naval and Marine Engineers A second edition of this work has been called for, and as Congress has taken no action on the subject, the author avails himself of the opportunity to add further arguments in favor of technological education. The topic cannot be too much discussed, and certainly merits the serious consideration of every good citizen. There are many engineers in the Navy who would be equally disposed, to agitate this subject and assist in the reorganization and improvement of the corps, but their position restrains them, and they cannot expose themselves to the ungrateful task, which is unavoidable in the elucidation of the existing system. The lot seems to have fallen on the author to take the bull by the horns, and he fearlessly courts an open contest, if such can only be had, with the organized prejudices which now embarrass the subject. If in fault, he is open for correction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
