We really need to see what the delta is between an optimum and full sequester.

My read of the speech is that a lot of the speech is about the continuing effect that full sequester cuts would have on the military budget.

I'll look forward to seeing how the presidential budget supports this statutory policy of the 11-carrier Navy.

The spending levels proposed under the President's budget plan would also enable the Navy to maintain 11 carrier strike groups.
