Dan Webster: “Our Coasties deserve better, and our country needs better.”

Today, the subcommittee will receive testimony from the Coast Guard's icebreaking recapitalization efforts and the ability of the Service to meet its icebreaking and polar region responsibilities.

We absolutely have to do better on this.

To date, we have yet to see such a plan, let alone a cost estimate or a timeline of the first vessel in the fleet.

Thank you for your answer. I am hoping that there is also coming with that nine necessary vessels some sort of timeline.
