        Once at Discovery they showed the assembly of these boats, first they are assembled in pieces, or rather compartments, and then all this is connected.

        Like on rails. Nothing is to be cut - it’s already won’t get a contract. They gave money and people work.

      So:
      1. The proven principle of modular construction
      2. Continuous supply of material
      3. Not destroyed by the restructuring of the military industrial complex, respectively, the shipyard, respectively, their modernization and qualified personnel.

      So do not be surprised. Caught up.

      They have 11 months ahead of schedule, and we have 11 years later, it is not for nothing that the Americans take on "increased socialist" obligations. And we have "chronic" underfunding.

      It’s just that shipbuilders understand what they are building. And what significance their work has for the defense capabilities of their country. And their work is paid, probably, accordingly ...

      Listen how much can you recover already? After the collapse of the USSR, 22 years have already passed, Putin has been in power for 13 years, during which time it was possible to build new plants from scratch. Or even years 50-60 will be restored to the level of the USSR, because the West will not wait.

        Well, and who is so tight with a sense of humor? The painter I’m talking about, not so long ago burned one Amer’s boat, as if the Turkish fleet in the battle of Cheshma could have done the same with another boat ... For the good of the world community and America itself, in the long run .

    The whole question is in production management. For Americans, it is elevated to an absolute and is expressed in hourly wages. If you want to earn a lot, work a lot. We pay the same salary to a bummer who runs every minute to smoke a cigarette or drink a “tea” and drink a “coffee” and a hard worker who does not leave the machine. I myself am now writing a comment to this article instead of working. So no surprise. Maybe we will remember Peter I with his active participation in the construction of the first Russian ships and we will recommend this to our leaders. You look and the "Russian" fleet will line up again. And you can also remember how the autocrat of the boyresses, that is, the modern oligarchs for this very fleet sanded. This is also a useful initiative.

    The boat is serial, the eleventh in a row - so the mustache is worked out. And the culture of production of Americans is very, very high. We are now, as always, to catch up. Well, again, they did not have perestroika - cooperation works like a clock.
