The Shang attack that started The War changed the space launch industry in America forever. The Port of Mobile had been losing market share in the cargo launch market to larger competitors like the Ports of New Orleans and Los Angeles in the preceding decades. They were also losing their building contracts to the orbital Yosemite Yards. Everybody knows that the Shang attack destroyed Yosemite and dropped its rubble all over Western America. We have all seen the visuals of an obliterated Port of Los Angeles. New Orleans was a footnote compared to what that did to Pacific shipping patterns, but was just as devastating to the Gulf of America’s shipping. The Port of Mobile answered the many calls for increased shipping, and their yards accepted every military building contract they could physically jam into their facilities. Mobile made money hand over fist.
