| 摘要： | The U.S. military always needs new vessels. There is usually never a point at which the Navy, Coast Guard and even the Marine Corps, Air Force and Army, say, "Okay, we're good for now." That's because military vessels are in constant use, and they usually wear out faster than a commercial boat. Luckily, there are plenty of U.S. ship- yards ready to build whatever boats or ships these agencies need. And because of the Jones Act, they must all be built in the U.S., with many of them built in Gulf Coast shipyards. Cordova, Alaska-based ReconCraft is not a Gulf Coast business, but something that its production manager Kurt Boardman said about building for the government applies nationwide. Commenting on the yard's just completed 12-boat contract for U.S. Customs and Border Protection's 21′×8′6″ riverine shallow draft vessel (RSDV), Boardman said that the CBP program "is a perfect example of the success realized when industry and government collaborate to design and manu- facture exceptional vessels that exactly satisfy operational, maintenance, and program requirements." ReconCraft currently has contracts to build for the Navy and Coast Guard. |
