Revitalizing US Maritime Power: The Way Forward
February 11, 2026 | 10:00 am | Asia Program
About the Event
The erosion of US shipbuilding, port infrastructure, and maritime workforce has become a strategic vulnerability amid growing uncertainties in the global order. The stakes to restore US maritime strength have never been higher, as it plays a key role not only to counter adversarial dominance at sea, but also to secure critical supply chains to enhance economic resilience. Join us for a discussion on the way forward to revitalize US maritime power as an integral part of the national defense and economic security agenda.
