US maritime industry is too small to contribute enough to American military and economic security due to its shrinking while Communist China’s maritime industry has been growing. America faces challenges.
Rear Admiral Mark Buzby (US Navy, ret.), former commander of the Navy’s Military Sealift Command and head of the Maritime Administration in the US Department of Transportation, will talk about the current state of the US maritime industry, its potential role in a western Pacific conflict, and the short- and long-term options to restore an American industry that promotes American security.
Michael Roberts, a senior fellow of Hudson Institute’s Center for Defense Concepts and Technology and the Navy League’s Center for Maritime Strategy will host the event.
