Posts - Bill - HR 4952 Ensuring Coast Guard Readiness Act
house 08/12/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to allow the President to approve building Coast Guard vessels in certain trusted foreign shipyards when it benefits national security and reduces costs, while ensuring these shipyards have no ties to China. This aims to enhance our Coast Guard’s readiness without compromising safety or security.

If those foreign yards meet standards, why not let the market sail a little freer?

Saving taxpayer dollars while boosting alliances? Sounds like a practical trade-off to me.

Let’s keep jobs and shipbuilding here; outsourcing national defense is a slippery slope to losing it.
