Europe’s superyacht-builders hit choppy waters.

Fewer plutocrats want floating palaces.

Europe dominates superyacht construction. Over half of the more than 1000 big boats built last year were made in Italy.

Four of the next five top producing countries are European. Russian magnate Andrey Melnichenko turned to Nobiskrug in Kiel, Germany. Starbucks ex-CEO Howard Schultz bought his from Feadship in the Netherlands.

Congress Targets Navy Battleship Over Design Details, Funding

Congress is pushing back on the Navy's plans for a Trump-class battleship, with Rep. Joe Courtney saying the project's hefty price tag defies logic given its lack of design progress. The House Armed Services Committee is now requiring the Navy to prove its planned weapons systems are mature enough before it will approve funding.

Building Spaceships In Outer Space In Starfield

File:Starfield – Ship customization 2.jpg

In this dream I was in the video game Starfield.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfYEiTdsyas

I was in space / outer space building, adjusting, and testing spaceships / ships / spacecraft.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5sxX-Qo8F4

For myself and other people.

Including some of my family like my parents and at least one of my brothers.

I remember interacting with some of them during this.

Asking them questions to better match the spaceship designs to their needs and wants.

Basically I was continuing some of the shipbuilding that I was doing in Starfield before I went to sleep in real life.

I guess people were impressed with my shipbuilding skills.

So they had me to help them build their spaceships.

That is all that I can remember of this dream.

The end,

Commit the orders: Former Navy Commander urges more support for UK shipbuilding

The firm building the Type 31 frigate for the Royal Navy has lost out in a $4 billion contract to supply four ships to the Royal Swedish Navy

The former North British Diesel Engine Works on South Street in Glasgow. Part of the Barclay Curle Clydeholm shipyard, it was built in 1913. It was designed by Karl Bernhard in a Modernist style based on on Peter Behren's 1909 A.E.G. Turbine Factory in Berlin. The Titan Crane was built in 1920 to lift the completed engines into ships berthed alongside the engineering works on the Clyde.

This isn’t abstract.

The U.S. defence industry has long counted on Canada as a reliable, high-value customer.

Now, that integrated North American defence-industrial base is fracturing.

American workers in aerospace, shipyards, and munitions lose out, while Canadian (and European) firms gain. 🇺🇸➡️🇨🇦🇪🇺
