    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Somewhat related.......

      The US Navy Minister recently toured South Korea shipbuilsing plants.

      "Our Korean and Japanese allies build high-quality ships, including Aegis destroyers, for a fraction of the cost that we do," he said, according to a transcript from the Navy's website.

      He shared his experience from a tour of South Korean shipbuilding facilities earlier this year.

      "When my team and I went to South Korea, we were floored at the level of digitization and real-time monitoring of shipbuilding progress, with readily available information down to individual pieces of stock materials," he said.

      "Their top executives could tell us -- to the day -- when ships would be delivered. It's an ethos, a commitment to constant improvement that is the foundation of their reputation for consistently delivering on time, on budget -- even during COVID."

      Toro lamented America's shipbuilding approach, calling it "inadequate" and "inefficient."

      "This is an inefficient approach, requiring far too much time, workforce and taxpayers' dollars," he said. "And it is certainly an approach that is wholly inadequate to pace our 21st-century competitors."

      (one of the things I have noticed when working with North Asian (Korean, Japanese, etc.) project teams is that they are super super good when things are going to plan. But if there are unexpected occurances, they are not as at correcting.)
