The Steel Triangle: Maritime Power and the Future of a Shipbuilding Alliance
July 28, 2026 | 11:00 am to 12:00 pm | Asia Program
About the Event
Shipbuilding has emerged as one of the most consequential frontiers of economic security and military deterrence. Both Japan and South Korea have emerged as indispensable industrial partners for the United States to revitalize its maritime capabilities. But can a new allied shipbuilding ecosystem restore the maritime industrial base while reinforcing deterrence across the Indo-Pacific? Join us for a discussion on forging new industrial partnerships between Washington, Tokyo, and Seoul, and prospects for maritime technology cooperation in confronting China's overwhelming shipbuilding capacity.
