U.S. Navy Take Notice: China is Becoming a World-Class Military Shipbuilder

[herrmill]

Came across an interesting essay in The Diplomat about China's naval shipbuilding program that's worth reading.

China’s military shipyards now are surpassing Western European, Japanese, and Korean military shipbuilders in terms of both the types and numbers of ships they can build. If Beijing prioritizes progress, China’s military shipbuilding technical capabilities can likely become as good as Russia’s are now by 2020 and will near current U.S. shipbuilding technical proficiency levels by 2030.
