FASTER, PLEASE: South Korean Shipbuilder to Invest $5B in Philadelphia Shipyard.

“Hanwha is also reviewing the build-out of a new block assembly facility. Through this expansion, Hanwha aims to increase Philly Shipyard’s annual production volume from less than two vessels to up to 20,” the release continues. “As a global leader in [liquefied natural gas] vessels, Hanwha aims to produce LNG carriers, naval modules and blocks, and, in the long-term, naval vessels out of its U.S. shipyard.”

During the Monday meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung at the White House, Trump acknowledged the length of time needed to ramp up shipbuilding.

“We really gave up the shipbuilding industry foolishly, many years ago,” Trump said. “But we’re going to start it up again.”

Seriously — much faster, please.
