the navy pulled us out. it was an interesting program. they dropped the qualifications for navy pilots to have a college degree. they needed pilots. i was very poor, high school every educational institution i've been to, i was never top. i always thought everything over 70 was wasted. they said in high school if i made the highest of all, my mother would be proud of me. it's not all that bad. they say i made four f six. [indiscernible] some of it is not totally true. you find somebody that encourages you and makes you think you can be somebody and can achieve. it ought to be your parents. mine was a teacher. i always think of the palm that says i think you and i love you for reaching your hand into my heart and finding something there. that is your role model. i found that in a history teacher at my high school. i called her and told her last year, i put it on my schedule to call and thank her for years and years. >> if you were in the navy and you went through school, did you go through any other kind of training before you went to comba

this is a big problem with the union navy. the union contracts and sigh then you have these admirals high-ranking naval officials who have no one to command. they are generals without soldiers. he is concerned about this. he is sent on a ship in the 1870's and he is struck that the united states navy is behind the chilean navy. they are very offended they have a better navy. how could they have a better navy? he comes to believe out of self interest and the way he views the country, and you view what you live, if you're in the navy you think the navy is important. if you're a teacher you think teachers are important. we are all self-interested viewers of the world. he comes to believe that the future of american power will be dependent upon a stronger navy and that are weak navy is holding us back, and other societies, particularly the newcomers of the germans and japanese, they are developing a navy and we better have one. mahan makes the argument called the influence of c -- c power on history, a study of rome and britain and

the american navy as a veteran navy veteran, by the way the war before yours, the american navy has been integrated since the revolution. but -- and my question for you is with your group are there connections to other groups around the country? is there a national organization of groups like yours? >> yes, sir. i want to clarify one thing though. yes, the navy was integrated. it was integrated up until the spanish-american war. when certain rates were closed down to blacks that previously had promotional opportunities. quartermasters gunners mates. after spanish-american war a lot of black sailors were relegated to commissary and steward's duty, messmen. that went all of the way up to the outbreak of the korean war or just after the korean war, through world war ii. majority of black men that were assigned to the fleet were stewards and cooks. they served in the office's quarters and they cleaned the officers' quarters and washed dishes. they did it on every particular ship in the fleet, submarine. they had a battle station but they couldn't go any higher than mess cook. and i think the

concern number four, minimizing the impact of ohio replacement on the rest of the navy. there are three ways to minimize the impact of ohio replacement on the rest of the navy, and we are pursuing all of them. first, we are making the ohio replacement as affordable as possible. the ohio replacement will have 16 tubes, not 24. we have maximized the use of previous systems. a weapon system design for the ohio, as well as virginia designed for features have been pulled into the ohio replacement. we have reached into the cost per submarine. the procurement of each ohio replacement ssbn's will cost less than 1% of one year of the dod's budget. when you consider it will carry 70% of the nations nuclear warheads preventing the major power war we talked about earlier, through the 2080's, that is a tremendous return on investment. second, we have to reduce the number of ohio replacement submarines to the minimum. we have rung out every ounce of efficiency from this program. we have gone from 41 ssbn's to 18 ssbn's to 14, and now we are heading to a force of 12 ohio replacement ssb

it's the surest guarantee of peace. a good navy is the surest guarantee of peace. the united states is in the atlantic, the pacific, the arctic. we are an arctic pacific and atlantic power. as well as the nation. the seas cover seven-tenths of the globe. six- six- six- six- six-tenths of our borders are seacoast. nine out of ten people on the planet live on the coast. this maritime domain the oceans you will roam will be as important as ever to our national security in the 21st century, and let me tell you why. first the oceans continue to be an arena of potential conflict. there's nothing new about events on the seas driving conflict. but what is new is the great powers that step back from the brink of much a mutual assured destruction. there are new fault lines. the new fault lines will continue to divide the great powers. and they reside in the strengths in the sea lanes that you will come to know so well. tensions run high. as i speak, they run high. but you will be there to keep the peace. u.s. foreign policy is rebalancing toward the vast potential of the asi
