Publisher's summary

Zero Point Four is a groundbreaking book written by six world-leading maritime, ocean, and security experts, and spearheaded by retired U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral James Watson. This audiobook explores how the U.S. - a maritime nation - finds itself on a dangerous precipice today.

After World War II over half the world’s ocean-going commercial ships flew the U.S. flag. Today, it is less than 0.4% (Zero Point Four). This meticulously researched work scrutinizes the U.S. maritime industry’s significance to America through five ‘Principles’: National, Economic, Energy and Food, Climate, and Workforce Security. From shortages in military support vessels to threats against U.S. dollar-denominated trade, and from insufficient numbers of U.S. mariners for food and energy security to the urgent need for climate-resilient maritime operations, the book breaks each issue down to its root causes. The authors don’t just identify problems but present a visionary 57-Point Action Plan to revolutionize the U.S. maritime sector and transform America to be a leader in the Blue Economy.

As the world grapples with uncertainty - pandemics, conflicts, and climate crises - America’s reliance on a robust maritime sector has never been more crucial. Learn about the critical role that the maritime sector plays in America's Security, and why it requires urgent action today.
