  1. In terms of production facilities run by the military building military designs the worst example I can think of is the US Navy and Navy's Board of Ordinance's MK-14 torpedo during WWIl. That is sad tale.

  3. Korean and Japanese industrial firms tend to be very diverse in what they build.

  4. The War Department also spent a lot of money building and tooling a plant at the Rock Island Arsenal to build M-7 Light Tanks. I think International Harvester built around 15 of them before the plug was pulled. By the time the design was finalized the M-7 weighed almost as much as the M-4. Not every effort on the part of US industry was successful. One of the worst cases was the GM P-75 Eagle. All because GM did not want to get involved in building engine nacelles for the B-29. The B-29 was the largest single weapons system program on the part of the US during WWll. Surpassing even the Manhattan Project.
