How the US Built 5k Ships in WWII

Check out Crane Cove Park in SF, they still have a lot of the hardware on display around the new park

And we're still paying the environmental price for that. Fortunately, in a future war we will be able to ensure the environment stays safe and we can protect the community character of our neighborhoods rather than just give them up for war.

I highly recommend the Rosie-the-riveter museum at the old Richmond shipyard. What happened there is amazing to this day.

Was it by setting import tariff taxes really high, and then <i>poof</i> the ships just magically blinked into existence?

Wow. Very extensive and fact rich article. Worth a read.
