Because ships have and still are the main means of transports of our goods to other countries around the world. The airplane may be able to provide fast transportation but it lacks space to transport large loads of cargo efficiently. This is where the ship comes in handy. Also because the ability to protect ones territorial waters is paramount when billions of dollars of shipping is near shore and the greatest ship building technology is need to ensure that the merchandise arrives safety on the country's soil. and why ship building is still very important to nations.
