The outward-looking face of the US naval shipbuilding & systems integration industry

Article Abstract:

The US naval shipbuilding and systems integration industry has a protectionist mentality, unwilling to share its market with foreign firms. This could be understandable considering that the US Navy has shrunk to a 325-ship navy from the almost 600 ships it had in the 1980s. Its protectionist tendency, however, could be counterproductive since it prevents US suppliers from benefitting from international business opportunities. Despite this protectionism, foreign suppliers have about a 8%-9% share of the US naval equipment market.
