The civilian side will be a joke. The whole thing smells like the US is forcing tech transfer from the South Koreans, just like the TSMC "investments".

I don't know... If you are country that places great importance on an interventionist foreign policy like the US should you not being willing to accept some commercial inefficiencies to achieve your goals?

Clearly for many countries this wouldn't be a worthy investment, but in the case of the US I don't know how they continue their current posture without state subsidies into vital industrial ventures.

Just call a spade a spade. A forced tech transfer for Uncle Sam’s MIC. It has nothing to do with civilian ship building capabilities.

The question is are the ships built price competitive in the world market?

Price isn’t really an issue as I’m sure they will be subsidised as needed and/or pressure applied to US and vassal companies to pay over the odds for them.

However, I think the far more pertinent and fundamental question should be: will those ships by truly seaworthy?

That’s not a mocking question, when you try make such massive leaps in output in a short time, bottlenecks will appear everywhere, and if you are forced to make unattainable deadlines, shortcuts get taken where they should be.
