In recent years, the U.S. has been working hard to strengthen its global naval presence and ensure reliable logistics support for its fleet. With China rapidly expanding and its navy already surpassing that of the U.S. in size, the U.S. has stepped up its efforts. To achieve this, the U.S. has been heavily investing in upgrading and expanding its navy, with a particular focus on military oil tankers and supply ships. One of the biggest moves in this effort was the signing of a contract between the U.S. Navy and shipbuilding company General Dynamics NASSCO, valued at over $6.7 billion . This contract includes building up to eight additional John Lewis-class oil tankers, which marks a significant boost to the U.S. Navy’s support fleet.
