$56,565 per year
- The national average salary for a Merchant Marine is $56,565 per year in the United States. It can vary depending on the employer and the skills required for that position, but generally, it will be about $56,565 or more annually for a gross salary.

It seems you want excuses for neither Biden nor Harris attending. That's probably for the best as they both share responsibility for that cowardly and botched withdrawal. I can't imagine the families would have wanted them there.

I wonder why the US Navy would rather retire the ships than raise the pay of the sailors who operate the ships?

Because the US Navy does not pay the Merchant Marines. They are not US Navy personnel. What is so damn confusion about this for you?

The Fed Govt awards contracts to the companies that operate the Merchant Marines
That is all. And the Govt is famous for going with the lowest bidder

I used to have about 50 civilian contractor that worked under me at my last airfield. I had nothing to do with how much they were paid.
This is from Google AI
No, the Navy does not pay Merchant Marines, as the Merchant Marine is not a military service or government agency. Instead, each vessel owner or operator sets their own pay scale, which can vary by sector, education, and experience. For example, the median pay for a tugboat deck officer is $400 per day, while the median income for a mariner is just over $54,000 per year. Pay can also vary based on the size of the ship and the conditions it works under. For example, in 2020, the median annual income for marine oilers and sailors was $44,920, while captains and mates made a median income of $77,130.

I never said they did
But being a vital component of national defense the government has an interest in maintaining readiness of the service
He’s a thought
Lets downsize federal employees in Wash DC and use some of the savings to bolster the merchant marine
