Welcome to the CavasShips Podcast with Christopher P. Cavas and Chris Servello…a weekly podcast looking at naval and maritime events and issues of the day – in the US, across the seas and around the world. This week…we’re looking at Jones Act waivers and what they mean for American shipbuilding, maritime commerce, and national security. Shipbuilders Council of America President Matt Paxton joins us to discuss what the White House has gotten right, what needs fixing, and why the Navy should care. Then maritime expert Sal Mercogliano broadens the conversation to global shipping, lessons from the Iran war, and what lies ahead for America’s commercial maritime industry and naval power.
