Secretary Stackley, what is the total amount and percentage of the fiscal year 2015 SCN request that is for previously authorized ships?

Secretary Stackley, what average level of investment do you need over the next 10 years, the next following 10 years, and the 10 years after that to meet your shipbuilding goals?

I understand the Navy has changed the methodology for counting ships.

I see, so now we're looking at 2016 or 2017 by the time the ship is operationally capable?

Admiral Locklear told the committee that the LCS is only partially effective in fulfilling his operational requirements.

We must direct future shipbuilding resources toward platforms that can operate in every region and along the full spectrum of conflict.

We live in troubling times, with more instability and unrest around the world than we've seen in recent history.

Modifying the LCS, after 12 years.

I'd appreciate very much in writing exactly what took place that caused this horrendous overrun of the Gerald R. Ford.

Now, what's going to be the cost of the John F. Kennedy?

Have we ever figured out what caused all of that?

$12.8 billion. Is that a $2.8 billion cost overrun?

The new Ohio will require annual spending of well over $6 billion per year.

The EFV was a disaster. I want to make sure that we never repeat a $3 billion mistake again.

I believe the drop to dangerously low end strength levels will impact the ability of the Marine Corps to respond effectively.

Secretary Stackley, what is the amount needed to complete full funding for the USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79)?

One, how does that affect your planning? Two, what effect would it have if sequestration kicked in again in 2016?

I think that it would be devastating, obviously.
