Rodney Frelinghuysen: “I thank the gentleman for his remarks and concerns and for his own…”

On the recordJune 10, 2015

I thank the gentleman for his remarks and concerns and for his own military service. I share his concern. The gentleman is correct. The Navy has been struggling to maintain its shipbuilding program for many years. Despite a requirement for 306 ships, the Navy's fleet has seemed to reach a plateau of about 285 ships for the last several years. It is our responsibility to work with you and the Navy to ensure that our sailors and marines have the finest ships and equipment this Nation can provide.
