and people are confused as to exactly what the navy's thinking in doing this over the long haul that might reduce some costs but now you have the problem where you have two different ships different mission modules so you have to design a new mission modules different mission modules all ships which drives up the cost of the mission modules but i think it's across the whole battle grounds absolutely genius is what he is what is it that approved all this is it's strictly in the hands of the navy it's not congress anymore it's the navy yeah the really driving the ship on this but congress like you mentioned they initially put that four hundred eighty billion dollars cap on it and now the price is gone and can they still get another time when they say no this is really going in for two thousand and twelve just said yes. i mean it's i mean we have two hundred eighty ships now over the navy wants three hundred thirteen and so this is as you said it was make up a big part of the fleet in future years so on someone. well congress hands are tied because they don't have a lot of they have the

i mean it's we have two hundred eighty ships now of the navy wants three hundred thirteen and so this is as you said it's going to make a big part of the fleet in future years so on some love. congress hands are tied because they don't have a lot of the d.t.g. one thousand program that flamed out so they don't have too many new ships coming so this is really going to be the future the navy well let's talk about what the future of the navy is my it is that they want to build it up so much and we've heard from people like former secretary of defense robert gates of the future is these air and sea wars but you know is our navy fleet really equipped for that i think there was a report that came out recently that said twenty two percent of the navy ships didn't even pass the inspections for twenty levon those are the ones that we already have you know the numbers have been about between fifteen and twenty five percent of the fleet is not has problems with with spare parts and parts it just won't work for a couple years now that mostly comes from i mean the big defense budget cuts in the ni

the united states navy today is one half the size it was when i was secretary of navy when we had 568 combatants. a certain amount of disbursal has occurred by the dwindling size of the navy. the second point is a convention type of pearl harbor is unlikely to happen. secretary panetta mentioned in june the next pearl harbor we could confront would be a cyberattack that cripples our financial systems and our governmental systems. i do not minimize the need to protect our fleet from any sort of attack. we have done an extraordinarily good job of that in the norfolk area with high-tech defensive systems. this is not the same type of situation when people have talked about what happened at pearl harbor in 1941. another point is that less expensive home porting operations do exist. our navy's own studies identify other less expensive options to sustain the facility at mayport, and i do believe that sustaining mayport as a navy town is very important to the interest of our country and to that region. it's an important naval base. but we have a clear responsibility to find more cost-effecti

president nixon was in the navy. he served in the second world war. he served in a job close to my heart. he was a freight cargo forwarder. he was probably most famous for helping the troops out because somehow or other, he got a channel to get hold of fresh hamburger meat once or twice a month. he had nick's hamburger stand on one of the steamy islands in the south pacific. like so many, he labored under extremely difficult conditions, unsung, but absolutely critical to our winning the war. it is my pleasure to host this and to have this forum here on pennsylvania avenue on
