Kaiser Shipyards was known for developing new methods of ship building,
which allowed his yards to outproduce other similar facilities and build 1,490 ships,
27 percent of the total Maritime Commission construction.
Kaiser's ships were completed in two-thirds the time and a quarter the cost of the average of all other shipyards.
Liberty ships were typically assembled in a little over two weeks.[3]
Kaiser Shipyards shut down at the end of the war.
