senate, retired navy captain, grandson of a gold star mother, a family -- a family believes navy blue. and i want to say to the hundreds of military families who have endured the uncertainty of -- if not their -- their loved one, their husband, father, brother, sister, was going to be able to assume the promotions they earned for their years of service protecting our country and helping to defend our constitution this is a -- this sad chapter has come to an end. i want to apologize to those families. i spoke last week, urged to turn this page and move on. i'm grateful that that has happened. i want to especially commend the work behind the scenes of our chairman of the senate armed services committee, jack reed, army veteran, for the work that he's done enabling us to end this sad chapter. we -- i remember a certain number of tours in southeast asia and the vietnam war. some of those years, we are not home for christmas, for the holidays. we were on the other side of the world. our families are back here in the states. those were not happy days for us. and i know the last months have

becomes extremely important and this complicated a little bit by the fact the brown water navy, as it's called, the blue water navy being the big ocean going ships, but the river ironclad, the gunboats tend in clouds and in timber clouds and so on. they will initially be under the army's. so at fort henry for donaldson, the army could command flag. officer foote, we need you to do this go do this and and could balk a little bit but he ultimately had to do it in the fall of 62, the navy those vessels to the navy or, lincoln transfers the vessels to the navy. and so they're no longer under army command. and so that relationship between grant and porter is absolutely critical because grant wins. porter over almost, almost immediately. and so porter do not everything there's some example elsewhere where he won't you know, do some things grant won't. but by and large, like, you know, passing the vicksburg batteries, by and large, grant porter will do pretty much anything grant wants because porter can see is pretty good idea. and this is what we've got left. and so the inner working there, grant and porter i

in my family, we bleed navy blue. my father's generation returned home to a hero's welcome at the end of world war ii. that was not the case for those of us who returned home from the vietnam war many years later. with little fanfare, no welcome home ceremonies, no parades, we returned to our home towns to begin our lives anew, and we did. with some cases with extraordinary good fortune, and i'm one of those. in the years since then i've witnessed a growing willingness from people across our country to atone for the kind of welcome home my generation received and to make clear that our service is now appreciated, fully appreciated. it's a wonderful feeling. but for a good part of this year we have once again failed to treat hundreds of our best and brightest military leaders with the respect and gratitude that they deserve and have earned by their service. the situation manufactured by our colleague from alabama to block the promotion of hundreds of well-deserving military officers is unprecedented. it is unwarranted,

we're going to create a blue water navy, we're going to do all of these things. and they look that, okay, what are their strengths, the united states and what are their weaknesses? and they came to a conclusion that space was both a strength and a weakness. so they invested a lot of money early on, developing capabilities for anti-satellite technology, both ground based missiles, lasers and anti satellites themselves. and i don't get again, not to stir up a vision that this is about, you know, a star wars type fight in the in space. it's more of a more of a bulldozer pushing a satellite off its course or sapping its fuel or destroying its sensors in a small but effective way is what you're going to see in the near term. and china has stated in that near-term they'd like to control space between earth and the moon. lots of strategic reasons to have that happen. and so when we started looking at this, it was hard to get people's attention even in the u.s. government about, hey, we have this big and growing problem. and i'm not talking about the folks who are doing

navy is already outnumbered if you will but. we need to unpack those numbers bit. we need to look at what i would or define as blue water warships. in other words, nuclear attack submarines, aircraft carriers, egis destroyers. and so forth. and when you count up those kinds of ships, we, the u.s., about 180 and the pla navy has about 115. so why are they so it's a fair question to ask. and and the reason is, is they have a of smaller frigates and corvettes conventionally powered submarines that are used mainly in the seas near around around china, the east china sea, south china sea, yellow sea and what have you for the defense of china, the pla, navy is built primarily to defend china from attack from the sea, which is, of course, is something that happened to china repeatedly in the 19th century and early in the 20th century, being invaded from abroad. and so, for example, they have about 50 conventional diesel powered submarines, 90 odd small corvette s and frigates and an important to think about when you look at the totality of the western pacific is that if it turns out there's a fight appeal, a navy is not

blue bird, anniversary season, sunday on rtr. severotdvinsk launched the fourth multi-purpose nuclear submarine cruiser of the yasen-arkhangelsk project. the submarine took 8 years to build; the ceremony was attended by navynned that the nuclear-powered submarine will be handed over to the northern fleet next year after all the necessary tests. such submarines are armed not only with torpedoes and mines; they have eight universal launchers on board , each with five wings. that is, 40 high-precision and elusive missiles that can be fired in one burst. except in addition, today the navy received two more new nuclear submarines, the strategic one, alexander ii. and multi-purpose krasnoyarsk. earlier this week, a solemn ceremony of raising the flag on the multi-purpose diesel electric submarine mazhais took place, that is, russia is strengthening its submarine fleet including its nuclear component, this is another sign that washington will not defeat russia in the nuclear arms race, we will have to admit moscow's superiority. this was stated by a former american intelligence officer scott ritter. the failures of the outdated us and uk strategic nuclear deterrents stand in stark contrast to the series of succe
