We'd still be going strong if we kept all this in country. Was dumb to let out competitors produce it all. Food also. The countries producing our food hate us. Smart for us, eh?

They had a duel with russian cruiser Kirov the second day of winter war, 1939. Managed to make a good dent in Kirov, limped away after.

I lived in Orem, UT in the early 1990s during the last days of the Geneva Steel plant. The owners struggled to keep the WW II era plant going but in the end were unsuccessful. The plant is now gone. Although the mill was not pretty to look at, it provided good paying jobs that did not require a college degree. i think those that worked there had more pride in their work than in what replaced them in our modern economy, i.e. stocking supermarket shelves.

Its unfortunate some most important manufacturing went over sea's to china and other countries with lower wages, North America manufacturing in present day is not like those times in the 90's leaving very large hole in North America's manufacturing capabilities.

Simply buy American, when you lose manufacturing overseas, you dont need steel produced locally. NAFTA, had auto manufacturers set up shop in Mexico, then mills followed. Chinese state funded steel dumping as well. They gutted Australian steel market then jacked up prices like a dopeboy.

I spent my early years in the shadow of a small foundry in northern NJ (American Brake Shoe) where my grandfather worked, and also within view of a major Ford Motor Company manufacturing plant. The smell of the coke ovens early on a crisp winter morning while enduring the Watergate saga on the black and white TV is burned into my memory, and still brings back fond memories whenever I pass by a steel mill that has coke ovens in operation. I will never forget the coke oven smell, nor the sound of the steam whistle at the start of shift, lunch break, and end of shift. I now live an hour north of the former Bethlehem Steel site. It's sad how the steel industry has died off in the US.

During Christmas of 1977 the rail servicing company that I was working for shutdown operation for the holiday and sent the crew home. They needed two people to stay with the train, so I and a fellow employee agreed to stay. The unit was tied up close to the mill and to get to the stores, etc. we had to walk next to all of the mill operations. Even to this day I remember the people, sounds, smells, and the constant motion. It was the best two weeks of my life! We worked on railroads all over North America, but my stay in Bethlehem will always be my favorite. And now it's all gone!
