The US Navy thinks warships are expensive only because they do not understand finance. $14B for a carrier is nothing. NOTHING to Wall Street. China knows this, that’s why they are outbuilding us.
But $14B is a lot for congress. This is why we must help shipyards fix capital.

This is why this is the ONLY all caps post in my entire feed 👇👇👇👇
It is ABSOLUTE critical to understand the financial mechanisms that allow the IS Government to pump $25B in bailouts into a regional bank without batting an eye. If we want ships must understand that shipyards are corporate entities that are able to access enormous amounts of
Wall Street capital but are handcuffed by a Navy that does not understand modern financial tools and markets
This is odd considering the sheer number of former Naval officers who have transitioned to top corporate finance gigs.
We MUST reach out to them for help.

And that starts with education.

I call upon @CIMSEC and @bill_hamblet’s fine folks at @USNINews along with Think Tanks like @brentdsadler’s heritage to reach out to USNA’s top alumni in corporate finance (there are plenty working for companies like
Bridgewater and Structured Credit) to start writing articles on how to help shipyards restructure financial credit systems to access the billions needed to expand and invest in systems that will drive down cost.
Because it’s been a year since @BrianTHart’s team expertly uncovered exactly China is outbuilding us with our own Wall Street capital… an nobody has done anything to use those lessons here in USA

CONGRESS IS NOT the answer to funding ships. (Yes they must write the checks but not checks for cost overruns and delays) The answer is unlocking the vast capital markets and backing shipyard risk so that a shipyard like VTHalter with billions in navy contracts doesn’t
Have to perform a firesale and sell for a measly $15.
And once we do unlock the financial tools our shipyards need then the treasury and fed can backstop risk just as they did with SVB!

Isn’t this illegal? The Navy can’t “play” with Wall Street, right?
That’s why we have think tanks and publishers like @USNI. That’s why we have government corporate law departments at @YaleLawSch and @ColumbiaLaw!
Experts in both financial tools and government appropriation

So if you run a Think Tank, or a publication like USNI or a major conference like @NavyLeagueUS SeaAirSpace, here is a great place to start. Read this book and call @katharinapistor to speak at your next event to jumpstart this critical education:
