Lost at Sea: America’s Maritime Collapse and the Fight to Secure Our Future

The collapse of U.S. commercial shipping and shipbuilding has created a glaring vulnerability in national security. Once the backbone of global maritime dominance, America’s fleet and industrial base have been reduced to a shadow of their former strength. Meanwhile, China has aggressively expanded its naval and merchant shipping capacity, controlling critical trade routes and supply chains. This shift has jolted policymakers to confront the hard truth: without a strong maritime infrastructure, the U.S. risks losing its ability to project power, secure economic interests, and defend its shores. A maritime revival is no longer optional; it is a strategic necessity to preserve sovereignty and global influence.   Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0IpcLT182C6UpnTpACL1HL?si=80c55f1f4b2041b0   Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-full-spectrum-frontiers-podcast/id1752521325   YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@FullSpectrumFrontiers
