According to a senior Navy official, global power has been determined by naval power and naval power has been determined by who has the most ships. If you take that as true, then U.S. Navy was dominant in WWI and WWII because we had the largest, most capable shipbuilding industry in the world. In 2023, Representative Wittman at Reagan National Defense Forum quoted the Chinese shipbuilding capacity as 230 times the U.S. shipbuilding capacity. Senator Dan Sullivan recently remarked that the Chinese launched 30 naval ships last year while the U.S. launched two. We’ve had a Congressional mandate to get to 355 ships in our naval fleet for over a decade and we’re at 290 because we can’t produce and manufacture ships as fast as we are retiring them and taking them out of service. The only way you close the gap with China - given the demographic shift in the shipbuilding workforce, the state of our shipyards, and other factors – is by augmenting our fleet with thousands of autonomous surface vessels (ASVs). At Saronic, we are on a mission to redefine maritime superiority by developing and manufacturing autonomous surface vessels for the Navy at the speed and scale needed to address this pivotal moment in national security.
