Dan Webster: “IUU fishing replaced piracy as the leading global maritime security threat.”

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

I expect you and Admiral Allan to clearly articulate how you will acquire these vessels and what resources are required to carry out the Coast Guard's polar mission.

Given these immense resources, it should come as no surprise that adversaries, including Russia and China, are working to assert themselves in the region.

We just want to get ships built. That is all we want to do. Tell us how to do it. We will get the money for you.
