One wonders how many of these industrial giants are scattered around the world, notably still working in Russia, the Ukraine and China.

I recall until the late 1980's a UK WW2 munitions factory (ROF Nottingham) had the only machine capable of supplying US battleships with their main armament barrels.
Russia has a 75,000 ton press and China is building an 80,000 ton monster.

We must never forget the basics of what made USA industry great, so that we can keep it on top for a long time to come.
