- bombcar 2y agoThe US could if the US Supermax had US-superpowers. Like it avoids certain dock taxes/tariffs. Tuned correctly, the US Supermax over time could eke out enough profit that some would be tenable. Unfortunately the best middle step is probably going to be convincing the naval yards to make some civilian ships, first.
