It's hard for me to imagine shipyards in Brooklyn. Like a totally alien conception of NYC.

in some cases the shipyards are still manufacturing facilities, just not shipyards.

imagine the lower end of Manhattan. The entirety of the lower end on both sides, think everything south of the park. the whole thing was packed solid with piers for stick ships from like before the 20’s through the late forties. The customs house (that has an art museum in it now ) was like the center of customs tax revenues.

The financial / insurance center on Wall Street was to service all the marine transportation.

why would you build ships to rebuild the us navy if it got exploded and you're like right next to china which makes all the things in the world, why not change sides to the one capable of material production

The war hasn't started just yet, maybe the USA could buy a navy from China?

Don't be silly, there will be several cycles of consultant carrion-feeding before the remains are loaded with hundreds of millions in debt and then stripped for parts by a hedge fund.

Did you read the report on Australian shipbuilding? I think I linked it to this thread. It says that, more or less verbatim, when explaining why Australia can barely paint their ships, let alone construct nuclear submarines.

because its cryogenic, like hydrolox, but absolutely nothing can beat hydrogen at its game because its the smallest possible atom. methane is a big stupid pile of carbons that is poo poo rear end awful by comparison, and if you need to use a big stupid pile of carbons (because you need something that isn't cryogenic) you can use kerolox, which is better

its all abloo bloo natural gas is 'green' and 'sustainable' which is a farce, but a farce with grant money and NGOs on the line

the space shuttle went up with hydrolox, the saturn v with kerolox, the chinese space program uses both, dipshits like space-x and blue origin are the only morons to touch methalox

e: if you need something stable you use a horror compound of hydrazine (udmh or mmh) and accept that it'll kill anything it touches
