Richard Shelby: “That is not chump change, is it?”

The Department of Navy has played and will continue to play a critical role in the defense of our Nation.

Deterrence requires spending our limited resources on both offensive and defensive weapons.

I am concerned about this--what this communicates to both our allies and our adversaries.
