Abstract
This study examines current options facing legislators
and policy makers who make decisions regarding the United
States merchant marine and its related industrial support
base, the shipbuilding industry. Included is a brief history
of the merchant marine and the effects of past legislation,
leading to the current environment faced by the members
of the maritime industries. A brief review of the current
government programs in the area of strategic sealift is
addressed as well. The analysis includes the opinions and
impressions of various representatives of the maritime
industry, shipbuilders and ship operators, as well as government
officials. This study culminates with a discussion
of the current options being addressed in Congress.
Conclusions and recommendations are drawn based on the
author's findings and opinions.
