| Summary: | Explores how the U.S. - a maritime nation - finds itself on a precipice. After World War II over half the world's ocean-going commercial ships flew the U.S. flag. Today, it is less than 0.4% (ZERO POINT FOUR). This meticulously researched work scrutinizes the U.S. maritime industry's significance to America through five "Principles": National, Economic, Energy and Food, Climate, and Workforce Security. From shortages in military support vessels to threats against U.S. dollar-denominated trade, and from insufficient numbers of U.S. mariners for food and energy security to the urgent need for climate-resilient maritime operations, the book breaks each issue down to its root causes. The authors don't just identify problems but present a visionary 57-Point Action Plan to revolutionize the U.S. maritime sector and transform America to be a leader in the Blue Economy. |
