SHIPYARDS: CAN THEY BUILD A NEW FLEET?

摘要

Most of the shipyards that built the Soviet fleet that challenged the U.S. Navy now are not in Russia, working at less than capacity, or building commercial ships, tugs, and offshore drilling platforms instead of warships. Furthermore, today's Russian shipyards use outdated machinery and methods, largely because of an industry depression for two decades after the fall of the Soviet Union.
