How South Korea Is Helping the U.S. Modernize Its Shipbuilding Industry | Eye on Korea Ep. 5

Описание: The U.S. shipbuilding industry is facing major challenges, but could South Korea be the key to revitalizing it? In this episode of Eye on Korea, we explore the growing collaboration between Korean and American shipbuilders, the role of AI and automation in naval production, and the legislative efforts that could reshape the future of naval defense manufacturing.

Our guest, Steve Brock, retired U.S. Navy Captain and former Senior Advisor to the Secretary of the Navy, shares his insights on how South Korea’s advanced shipbuilding expertise could help revitalize U.S. shipyards. He discusses the recent Philly Shipyard acquisition by Hanwha Ocean, the evolving role of submarines in national security, and the impact of AI-driven innovation on naval production. We also examine the challenges and opportunities that come with increased foreign involvement in U.S. defense manufacturing and what it means for the future of military readiness.
