U.S. Navy to identify which Indo-Pacific shipyards it can use in wartime
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. military will carry out maintenance work on as many as six American naval ships at international shipyards next fiscal year if approved by Congress, aiming to keep up with China's naval capacity.
If the military's request is authorized later this year, it would expand the use of foreign shipyards for such work on U.S. Navy ships and lead to certifying shipyards that match U.S. standards.
