Building the Navy the Nation Needs

Building the Navy the Nation Needs: Does the Shipbuilding Plan and Budget Get Us There?

Oct. 27, 2 p.m. ET

The size and construct of the Navy the Nation Needs is one of the most studied issues in the last two decades, and no study in that period has suggested anything other than a Navy larger than what we have today, in order to counter the Great Power Competition threats the U.S. faces.

However, between the 30-Year Shipbuilding Plan with broad ranges and the proposed budget with no Future Years Defense Program, it’s impossible to tell what the future holds for our Navy. Meanwhile, China recently displaced the U.S. as the largest Navy on the planet.

This webinar will explore the implications of this landscape and what it means for the shipbuilding industry, the Navy and the nation at large.
