Kaiser Shipbuilding Company
The
Kaiser Shipbuilding Company
was a creation of
US
industrialist
Henry J. Kaiser
, who established the
shipbuilding
company around
1939
in order to help meet the construction goals set by the
Maritime Commission
for merchant shipping. Kaiser initially partnered with
Todd Shipyards
and the
Bath Iron Works
, then established a new
shipyard
in
Richmond, California
. In April
1941
the Maritime Commission requested an additional Kaiser yard, to be used for
Liberty ship
construction, and after the
attack on Pearl Harbor
, Kaiser started third and fourth yards, building
troop transports
and
LSTs
, respectively. Kaiser also produced the
Casablanca
class
of
escort aircraft carriers
.
