Navy Chief Blasts Industry

This over shipbuilders cost overruns and shoddy construction, specifically the new San Antonio amphibious ship:

Navy inspectors last year found the San Antonio was rife with shoddy workmanship — such as bad electrical wiring, corrosion and safety flaws throughout. Mullen said these problems have since been corrected.
"We have struggled at times with the contractor in terms of delivering ships on time and some of the quality of the work," Mullen said.
Congress initially approved $953 million for the USS San Antonio and $762 million for the second ship in the class, LPD-18, for a total of $1.7 billion for both ships.

This is the trouble with all our shipyards, yet Congress will fight tooth and nail to defend them, them complain why there aren't enough ships. If you ask me, Congress is the problem.
