That's an interesting take. I read the article and it sounds like the US invented modern shipbuilding during WW2, and the Japanese just copied it and ran with it. But ok.

The us invented modern management in wwii - but it was perfected in japan after the war. Ships were built all over to old management processes but modern management made a big difference in cost, time, and quaity.

Have you not heard of the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905)? It’s quite famous with historic naval battles and modern battleships. But ok.

Japan had modern steel battleships in 1904. Dumdedum123 is talking about modern post-1930s shipBUILDING techniques involving prefab subassemblies.

I'm just going off the article. Did you read it?

Same things with statistical process management and quality control.
