South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) has reportedly offered to manufacture advanced Aegis destroyers for the United States Navy. The proposal comes as Washington looks to address ‘gaping holes’ in its domestic shipbuilding capacity.

The offer was made at the Sea Air Space conference in April, where HHI signed a memorandum of understanding with US-based Fairbanks Morse Defense. Hyundai claims it can produce up to five destroyers a year that match the capabilities of the US Navy’s Arleigh Burke-class ships.

“We have over 250 engineers who can design and build Aegis ships with the same performance as the US,” a Hyundai official told the South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo. Woo-man Jeong, head of the firm’s Specialized Ship Business Division, said Hyundai could manufacture five such ships annually.

Buy from China is cheaper.

italians and germans are amazing ship builders as many of the latest and largest cruise ships are built in italy and germany. giant cruise ships are also built in finland and france, followed by japan and south korea. the ship building industry in usa is preoccupied with building smaller boutique cruise ships as it’s booming with so many millionaire boomers. shipyards and drydocks in europe to build these gigantic cruise ships are fully covered almost like in an indoor stadium or monstrous warehouse. i won’t trust any giant cruise ship built in tiongcock.
