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…Not long ago, the future of shipbuilders Austal USA was somewhat in doubt. Yet the company has rapidly expanded into new programs and efforts that are redefining its reputation as just a builder of aluminum ships. We’ll hear from Austal USA's VP of Business Development Larry Ryder on the progress of those efforts.
