Shipbuilding in the United States has been decimated over the decades by shortsighted policies and neglect. Today, the U.S. builds about three large commercial cargo ships a year while China rolls out around 1,000. The Trump administration has called this a national security crisis and is making it a priority to revive the American shipbuilding industry. One solution comes from our ally, South Korea.

Correspondent Lesley Stahl reports from Hanwha’s shipyards in Korea and Philadelphia. Shachar Bar-On and Jinsol Jung are the producers.
