A history of the evolution of the Navy's serious problems in parallel with the shipbuilding industry's decline on the world market since World War II. A major portion of the industry's business now comes from government funding. While the number of shipbuilders has decreased, the industry has been dominated by a relatively small number of large corporations for whom shipbuilding is only a minor portion of their corporate business. In turn, the Navy is totally dependent on an industry increasingly inclined to challenge the Navy's procurement an contracting requirements.
