I have yet to see anyone provide some rough numbers so we can have some context. My understanding is that Chinese ship builders can be between 1/2 and a 1/3 as expensive as North American builders.

So, on a huge order like this, how much would we be spending to subsidize our tradespeople? What services should we cut for the privilege?
