On the recordMay 21, 2003
As the Senator knows well, this transition period has a substantial impact on the shipyards and their workers who will be asked to construct these future vessels. After the decline in shipbuilding in the last quarter century, our ability to build naval ships of all kinds has been substantially reduced. During this period of transition, I am concerned, as well as you, that the shipyards retain their engineers and workers, so they may build the next generation of ships when these ships are mature.
