and within the navy? senator, when i originally said we are going to work together, that's a fine example. let's take acquisition. if, in fact, we have a large platform weapons program, one of the things i might propose is that we have the program executive and the program manager stay in place for the first generation of production. >> have their job depend on it? >> have your job depend upon it. also, that flies in the face of up and out. we are going to have to adjust some situations here on how we promote people and if we are going to expect this out of them. yes, coming to you with various situations that you can help us with and clear maneuvering is appreciated. >> i look forward to the confirmation of coming back here and coming up with the list of things to do dichfferently for your job to be easier to achieve. >> i look forward to it if confirmed. >> thank you. >> thank you, mr. chairman and to the witness for being here. i want to join my colleagues in offering my deepest condolences of the famil

he dumped the navys. he questioned the character and integrity of marines who dared to disagree with some of these policies. i think it is unfortunate you have inherited this legacy and it is going to make it somewhat hard to restore the credibility of the secretary yat. do you think making some of these changes will enhance the navy's ability to deter war and if necessary fight and win war? >> senator, i testified before this committee, i believe, in 2015 that it was my belief that the department of defense, specifically individual sources, was not to be a petri dish for social experiment. i believe that policy should be developed at the dod level and discussed and socialized and deployed and then obeyed. we have to work together, including all our service people to make sure that they are given what they need, whether that be spiritually, whether that be psych logically, whether that be materialistically a might forward. so readiness is the key. >> thank you for that answer. i agree. i think pretty much

that's one thing the navy has been looking at for the gerald ford and some of the other carriers is the idea of an unmanned aircraft. these are now landing on the gerald ford. they carry some of the presidential support staff. we have yet to see marine one in sight. they are coming from an airport about 2 or 3 miles away here. another thing about the ship they have done is they have reworked all the engineering. there's no steam driving this. it is all an electric system to help with everything from pumping water to pumping the gas into the aircraft. two nuclear reactors here power this ship. about 400 sailors and -- 4500 sailors and marines will eventually be on board. everything, david, they have had to work on including better air-conditioning buzz they figured -- because they figured out over time the heat and the humidity in the hangar bay break down the airplanes. they think they have save money on maintenance by having better air-conditioning. this may be the beginning of the commissioning ceremony. once it is commissioned it is the uss gerald ford. you note behind the super stru

president ford joined the navy and asked to be sent to sea. he wanted to do that very badly. he never really knew why he felt it was a calling. he was assigned to a new carrier, the monterey, becoming a point owner himself on his commissioning in 1943. from there he sailed the pacific and he saw action, a lot of action in the pacific war. like so many others of his generation, gerald ford return home and started a family. he ran for congress where he served the people of michigan with honor for many years. from there, he became vice presidents and then presidents of the united states of america. ship we honor him for his lifetime of selfless and distinguished service. bettyo remember his wife, . i remember her well. and we honor the bravery she showed in living her life so that her experiences could help others. susan, she was a great woman. a great woman.

this would put it square in the navy's lap. they have the responsibility of getting out of the way. vy ships rely on expert seamanship. they should have understood much sooner what was happening to them. tragedy for seven navy families. look, this cargo ship, when it hit the star board side ripped a hole below the water line. the sea flooded in. that's where the seven sailors drown. it could have been utter catastrophe, the damage so bad, navy officials say the ship could have sunk the entire crew of more than 100, could have been lost. poppy? >> generally, especially with a ship of this size, this many sailors, you would have a lot of things in place to warn way ahead of time that a collision was coming soon. >> reporter: that's sit. there are redundant systems, there are radars, there are sensors. there are, you know, what the navy calls human eyeballs, people on the bridge, out standing watch on the deck. they should have seen what was happening. very busy waters off the coast of japan there. as a ship is approaching and there is a potential problem, the standard rules are, you ca
