美国海军因本土造船产能受限,正积极筹划从盟友国家采购舰艇以加快交付进度。1美国海军官员表示,"我们正积极制定方案,以落实总统加快交付舰艇的意图。"1其中,日本、韩国和土耳其三国已进入潜在合作方候选名单。1
在具体合作计划中,美国海军考虑采购日本护卫舰,官员称"我们可能会购买一些日本护卫舰,它们的性能非常出色。"1日本的候选舰型为三菱重工"最上级"(Mogami-class)护卫舰升级版。1韩国方面,总统李在明今年7月向特朗普表示韩国造船企业已准备好开展合作。1
白宫今年8月发布了关于重建美国海军及造船工业基础的备忘录,以支持这一举措。1根据备忘录,允许外国公司在美新建造船厂后可先在本国建造前两艘舰艇。1美军采购的实质是通过订单换取先进造船技术和工艺转让,同时确保美国造船厂获得长期投资、扩大本土造船劳动力队伍。1
The U.S. Navy is actively exploring the procurement of military vessels from allied nations to address capacity shortfalls at domestic shipyards.1 Japan, South Korea, and Turkey have emerged as potential suppliers for this initiative.1
A U.S. Navy officer stated that "we are actively developing plans to implement the President's intention to accelerate warship delivery."1 Another naval official noted that "we may purchase some Japanese frigates, which have excellent performance."1 Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is being considered as a supplier for an upgraded version of the Mogami-class frigate.1 In July, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung indicated to Donald Trump that Korean shipbuilding enterprises stand ready to cooperate on such endeavors.1
The White House issued a memorandum in August on rebuilding America's naval and shipbuilding industrial base, endorsing this procurement approach.1 The memorandum permits foreign companies that establish new shipyards in the United States to initially construct the first two vessels in their home countries.1 The strategic rationale behind these purchases encompasses three key objectives: ensuring long-term investment in American shipyards, facilitating technology transfer, and expanding the domestic shipbuilding workforce.1
