so there, just down the road, the famous glenn navy yard -- brrooklyn navy yard. already building dreadnoughts at the time. poised for fresh orders. nothing coming along was going to upset the work, the enhanced work, of the shipbuilders, of the oily makers, of the riveter -- of the boiler riveters who are going in and out of this yard. it was going to go up to 7000 or something like that. it is rather well poised for the war. in the city itself, it is ready to go. the other side of this military financial complex, the financial side. here is wall street looking rather innocent. not too much panic on one hand. it is there, it is already in this international nexus of finance and web of investment opportunities. that will be talked about tomorrow. the structures here are so easily ready for when there is a further step in the story of the advancement and new york as the center of world finance. particular, it has this house. what a fortunate place to be. how nice it must of been to be a partner of the house of morgan, and discover in august, 1914, the war had broke

the secretary of the navy was quite unhappy with his resolution. these situations worked well in boston. everything that could go wrong in new york went wrong. y had no connections, he had no way to raise money. he had the same hostile attitude from the navy department in new york. forbes would be here in boston. spielberg could not invent this could not invent his career. at this moment he was 43 years old and thought he was a little too old to go to see. he had taken his first command at age 20 in the china trade. they had made him boston's principle china traders. in addition to his reputation as a merchant and sea captain, he was a great humanitarian. it very distinguished organization. organization an made up of captains having some claim to boston who holds masters licenses at all the season the world. they had great humanitarian interest. a mutual benefit society. captains training for voyages. massachusetts humane society, they do not deal with cats and dogs. the humane society was involved in rescue speed they had established a series of h

the navy ended the safety stand aredown on -- standdown on june june 14 and pulled fewer g's. this is not the optimal way of training. then, following a subsequent p.e. incident in kingsville and feedback from instructor pilots on the mitigation plan, the navy has chosen to restrict training flights even further. this is a problem, mr. mr. president. the navy tells us the current practice would allow a student to complete only 20% to 25% of the curriculum. that's the status today. the navy is already short on pilots and continuing the status quo could further constrict the pilot production pipeline. so where do we go from here? the navy has brought three t-45s that -- t-45's that have experienced physiological episodes to the patuxent river, maryland for extensive analysis. they are taking the airplanes apart at pax river. i applaud this action. initial results of the testing should be available next week with more information to follow as the data is processed. at the same time engineers have teamed up with pilots from both the test community and the training command, includi

it's a navy decision. and consultations with admiral richardson and the navy on it. i believe it's important we move that capability forward because it gets it closer to the fight. on the ship repair facility i don't know. i would defer to the commander. it's a navy issue on whether they need a ship repair facility in guam or if the facilities in hawaii and eastward are adequate. >> okay. i have one last question, admiral. as you know, a decade ago, pacom, congress has funded an acquisition to field this capability. with significant munition shortfalls i presume the requirements continue to grow. can you discuss the risk we take with the shortfalls in the munitions? could you just briefly -- >> sure. i believe it's as relevant today as a decade ago. i'm pleased and grateful to the congress for funding weapons systems like long range anti-ship missiles, putting money against advanced tomahawk and sm 6 and the anti-ship mode. these are helpful. this is good. and i'm grateful for that. >> thank you, admiral, and thank you, mr. chairman. i yield back. >> mr. rogers. >> t

navy ships are steaming towards the korean peninsula at least to be prepared. host: that latest news says a u.s. navy strike group led by the uss carl vinson aircraft carkier was making its way toward the korean peninsula unday to maintain readiness. guest: you never know for sure but i would say this is a reassurance move. this is what you want our allies, japan, and south korea but also the the region as a whole to know that we are -- we've got their back. we have a military force that is formidible. a navy aircraft carrier strike force has a lot of destructive power in its ships, in its plains, any case anything prove oktive should happen we would be able to take care of them. so it's mainly for reassurance. it also is an implied threat particularly after the strike on syria there's some that are thinking that donald trump wants to be unpredictable. wants to have the threat that he would take military option against north korea even after something that's relatively benign, not directly threatening. like another missile test, like a nuclear weapon test. host

by the time i moved there, about a mile away from the navy yard, it was home to a few operating warehouses, but mostly acres of into buildings, feral dogs, and the occasional body that again reportedly dumped by one of brooklyn's legendary wiseguys. there were still plenty of holdovers at the time that we moved in, from early waves of immigrants. our next-door neighbor were an elderly irish couple who had once taken in borders, and so many did in the brownstone areas of brooklyn during the depression and in the decades following. they were now being paid by the city of new york to house elderly. many of them sick and moaning, and that was a musical accompaniment of march, children's early years. hopefully they can't remember it. in fact, brooklyn was actually losing population. years later the writer pamela grow in working-class park slope would say about this time, you heard it over and over in those days. we got to get out of brooklyn. and you know what, a lot of people dead. so the question that i had in my mind as i approached this book was how did the old brooklyn become the new brook

here‘s a press release from the us navy three days earlier.unces that the strike group has been ordered to map sail has been ordered to sail north from singapore towards the korean peninsula. after that release, but before the president spoke, us secretary of defensejim mattis was asked about that order in a press conference. he replied, "she‘sjust on her way up there because that‘s where we thought it was most prudent to have her at this time." when secretary mattis says "at this time" it was widely taken as reference to increasing tension with north korea. but that strike group didn‘t sail north. a week after the order was made, the warships were nowhere near north korea. in fact, they were sailing through the sunda straight. to the south. we know this the us navy released this photo of the carl vinson in the sunda straight on saturday. it says the warships did training exercises with the australian navy. and that now they are heading north. but barbara, bringing you back in here, that isn‘t what the president said. no it isn't, and there ha

the navy announced the integration was smooth sailing. but in 2014, a rumor began surfacing that lewd videos were being formed aboard the wyoming and an investigation confirmed. a ring of male soldiers had been collaborating to share videos of the women in the shower and share them. this wasn't a one-time prank but an effort that implicated dozens of mean why they used banned electronic devices to film women as they bathed. every single woman aboard the uss wyoming was filmed naked every time she took a shower. woman were violated for months on end because of policy built on blindness to gender differences tearing down barriers designed to protect women and the integrity of the navy. but the navy gave the perpetrators a slap on the risk and pressed toward integrating nuclear powers and eventually all enlisted submarines. then defense secretary, ash carter, announced the pentagon would be opening every single combat role to women and the process had to begin in 30 days. more stunning secretary carter refer today the submarines as the examp

navy instructor pilots have refused to fly suns late last week to protest what they say is the top navy reluctance to address an urgent problem with the jet's oxygen system. multiple instructors tell fox news that poison infected the air they breath. because of that, they are grounding hundreds of training flights across three bases in the united states. among the hundreds of student pilots affected at mccain field and naval air station meridian mississippi is marine first lieutenant, the son of the vice president raising alarms against the pentagon's top ranks. >> we don't have the smoking gun right now. we're doing a lot of things to assess the system, the onboard oxygen yen rating system and to try and understand what might be getting into the pilot breathing in. >> reporter: on capitol hill, the chairman of the house armed services committee expressed outraging and blamed recent budget cuts. >> there is no question there are problems that are being covered up. i am very concerned about the issue. it's been getting worse over time. >> in an exclusive interview with fox news, the head

i want to help the navy get the ships they need. and so, when i'm told 355 ships is a requirement, i believe that. now, you mentioned to senator inhofe that you don't have enough submarines, and you also mentioned some ammunition. let's talk about ships. how many submarines do you have now and how many do you need? prefer to give you those in a different setting. >> ok. >> i will say i only get half of what i need. >> ok. >> i have a steady requirement based on steady state things we do with our submarines today. then i have a requirement that's based on war fighting. in our war plans, they say these war plans state a requirement for x number of submarines in y number of days. those are two kinds of metrics. you have got a number of submarines you need to fight the war, if it happens. then you've got a number of submarines i need today to do the day-to-day operations in the region. in today's numbers, i get about half of what my formally stated requirement is. >> you get half of 52? >> no, sir. i get half of my requirement. 52 is th
