To maintain American dominance of the oceans we must invest in a Navy that is of the right size and capability.
I refuse to accept this premise and will work to provide a fleet that has sufficient funds for maintenance and modernization and is sized to support our national commitments and ideals.
This is an important hearing because we know the future of American naval power is an issue that should concern all Americans.
