@johnkonrad The Merchant Marine Reserve was also a component of the Navy. It was a Navy O3.

[Rick Ships @RicksShips]

@johnkonrad Right so currenrly there’s no such thing as a Merchant Marine O3

@cpgrabow @AlfredCObregon Genuine question Colin bc I do appreciate your viewpoint on these topics, many of which are valid.

Can you specifically disclose any of the jones act impacted companies/foundations/corporations that donate to CATO and your research? Is that published anywhere?

[Rick Ships @RicksShips]

@johnkonrad @SecWar don’t need South Korea for this. Need them for containerships and LNG ships. We can build this quickly and efficiently if we wanted.

[Rick Ships @RicksShips]

@mercoglianos @johnkonrad @SecWar Edison Chouest Offshore can build one of these in 11 months.

It’s not a matter of not being able to do it. We just don’t want it bad enough.

[Rick Ships @RicksShips]

@mercoglianos @MSCSealift Who will crew these vessels? Also…these tugs will be able to tow a tanker in ballast but any large loaded tanker they would have no chance of successfully towing.

@cpgrabow These guys have complete tunnel vision

[Rick Ships @RicksShips]

@mercoglianos Don’t let @cpgrabow see this!

[Rick Ships @RicksShips]

How is this real 🤦🏻‍♂️ @mercoglianos

[Rick Ships @RicksShips]

@johnkonrad @CavasShips You’re a clown hating just to hate. Tell them good job and give them a minute to paint pierside. Paint barge at anchor offshore is a waste of money and more importantly time.

@BarstoolBigCat Thank you @MagicJohnson

[Rick Ships @RicksShips]

@BarstoolBigCat OKC all you did was talk about how the refs shouldn’t be the narrative and it’s old. but now you wanna complain.

[Rick Ships @RicksShips]

@StoolGreenie What are you doing there even blinking for a second instead of calling TO? There’s nothing good to happen throwing the ball anywhere on that spot!

[Rick Ships @RicksShips]

@johnkonrad No mention of salvage ships. F-. 0/10.

[Rick Ships @RicksShips]

@johnkonrad @Tommygun7777 JA operators will be flocking to China for nuclear refueling and servicing if we have any nuclear US built ships. Nobody wants that.

Just keep em on conventional fuel and build more let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

[Rick Ships @RicksShips]

@adamscochran Pal you could fit the biggest ships in the world through a passage half that size with ease

[Rick Ships @RicksShips]

@MarineTraffic your app is still broken

[Rick Ships @RicksShips]
