In September 1941, Japanese intelligence dismissed American shipyards as weak and outdated, reporting construction timelines of twelve to eighteen months per vessel. What Commander Yoshikawa couldn't predict was that Henry Kaiser, a man who had never built a ship, would revolutionize maritime construction through mass production methods. Using prefabrication, assembly-line techniques, and untrained workers, Kaiser shocked the world by building the SS Robert E Peary Liberty Ship in just four days and fifteen hours. This industrial miracle transformed the Pacific War, as Japan realized they were fighting an enemy capable of building ships faster than submarines could sink them.
