secondly, i support the navy's fleet, whatever the correct number may be in the end, the navy definitely needs to have ore ships to meet its mission. however, the construction of ships is very expensive. even with the potential savings from a two-carrier buy, the expected cost of those ships would probably exceed $10 billion each. as we also have a bulge coming up in the navy ship building plan, as construction of the columbia class ballistic missile submarine gets under way. i'm not opposed to increasing the navy ship building budget in future years, but it needs to be done in a manner that is in step with the industrial base and strategic needs of the whole department of defense. and unfortunately this body and the other body did not waive the last two years of the budget control act. so i would remind my colleagues that it is terrific talking about building more ships that we don't have the money for. and the fact is, next year this bill, left uncertain, will have $71 billion less in it if the restrictions of the budget control act are not changed. and i would also point out to my two

the iranian navy went against the united states navy, two guided missile cruisers and a gunboat were attacked in missile warfare. the first confrontation with missile warfare. you think of world war i, naval engagement was by big guns with a 2000 pound shell. in world war ii, the range grows further. you can fire from 200 miles by bombs and potatoes, carried by aircraft off in aircraft carrier. -- bombs and torpedoes carried by aircraft off an aircraft carrier. now you can fire a missile from a drone 14,000 miles away. the change is the distance at which the opponents fight. in the age of sail, you had to sail up within 50 yards and blast away with iron cannonballs. then gradually over time, the range and accuracy increased and the big difference between world war i and world war ii was the gun and the airplane. between then and now, it is electronic and missile warfare. there is a must know theater anymore. you can target an enemy from the persian gulf, you don't even have to be in the same ocean. they are guided by satellites overhead and conducted by geosynchronous units. it is pre

the historical atlas of the u.s. navy is still in use in the naval history class at the naval academy today. his impact on the navy has been immense. along with all the books and awards, he also received the civilian service award and navy superior service award not once, not twice, but three times. he is a veteran. served as a lieutenant in the early 1970's. i have to say is the ceo of the navy memorial across the street here, our mission is to honor and recognize the men and women, and to inform the public about their service. would like to ask the audience to join me as we celebrate you for everything you have done to inform us about the united states navy. before i turn over the microphone to you, i have a quick sea story that i think the audience will enjoy. dr. symonds is in fact a true naval enthusiast, but he is not only a great professor and engaging author and a true naval enthusiast, but he has been played by a character on the silver screen that you may not know about. i have to admit when i spoke to him earli

the battle of gettysburg. dr. symonds is really a navy guy, having a significant impact on the men and women who have served in the navy for the last three or four decades and will serve for decades more. as a matter of fact, his historical atlas of the u.s. navy is still in use in the naval history class at the naval academy today. his impact on the navy has been simply immense. allong with all the books and numerous awards, dr. symonds has also received the civilian service award and navy superior civilian service award not once, not twice, but three times. and he is a veteran. served as a lieutenant in the early 1970's. i have to say as the c.e.o. of the navy memorial across the street here, our mission is to honor and recognize the men and women of the sea services and to inform the public about their service. today, i would like to ask the audience to join me as we honor and celebrate you for everything you have done to inform us about the united states navy. before i turn over the microphone to you, i have a quick sea story that i t

the series speaks to current thinking and issues, seen the naval services, navy marine corps, coast guard. our event today isour first of 2018 and look forward to having you join us for a future event. we thank huntington angles industries for their generous support of the series and making it possible. i need to make a simple administrative announcement at the beginning and in the unlikely event of an emergency i will give instructions on what we will do. we will either pull fast or move out of the front door, or the rear. >>> now to our panel. we are fortunate in having distinguished panel with a broad set of experiences and responsibilities. we have general robert wall, 6th wing aviator and commanding generaof the marine corps command at quant co. we have general brian bud row, infantry officer, and now deputy for plans, policies, and operations at headquarters. we have lieutenant general robert headlin, helicopter pilot and deputy for plans, policies, and operations. now, notes are wrong. i apologize, i would have brought you back, up to washington. no. and dr. maurly of if and the of

i think that the opportunity there is to get back to our navy roots, back to working with the navy and partnership. that has been very exciting across the operating forces, the general will talk about that. t certainly from a headquarters marine corps standpoint, i also cochair the naval board, the general on the board with me, there is a lot of things going on between the cno and comdaunt to drive towards bringing the two services together, as we were in the cold war, towards major strategic competition, i would say that would be the main part that i wod athe excite-- the tentof that opportunity. the other opportunity, a challenge, is where we have we been with inivistment the last- - investment the last 16 years, a challenge when you look at the capability that we used to have, for example, we used to have anti-aircraft missile battalion, when i talk to war fare and young captain, they look at me like i have three eyes when i talk about the marine rps hamissile battalions, antiaircraft missile battalions, i look at p look at the force and go how do we meet and pace the threat that we

mitchell: the navy just wanted it to go away. the navy was really culpable in this. naval intelligence and national security agency did a terrible job analyzing the risk assessment for the mission. didn't have support forces on call. this is a chain of error that is hard to believe. they just wanted this to go away. when the men came home there was a court of inquiry. there was talk of a court marshall. there were some public hearings, congress got involved. it was a nasty situation. navy clearly wanted the captain to take the blame. when there was a public outcry, you are scapegoating these men, the answer was make everybody go away and that was it. susan: during the course of the year when they were captured, what happened to the commander? mitchell: he was the one that was tortured first. they started with the captain and his story was pretty terrible. they beat him, tortured him, threatened to kill him. they would put a gun to the head and pull the trigger. empty chambers but just to really get him to collapse. they threatened to kill his men. they beat and tortur

the dynamic force employment of the marines will be tied to the navy. global force management decision, how forces get allocated, and how that works in the future. in terms of the drivers will be the readiness back in the us, and are already most ready. the key is combat credibility. a small unit in south america with security cooperation at the platoon level is not combat credible but there for specific reason, and the west coast view with command and control arrangement that could go over the top. and a significant combat credible force to do part of this dynamic force. and they may go forward. >> the question that comes to mind is the surge force and blunt contact force, able to operate when the balloon goes up. and the bifurcation, the surge marine force, and patrolling marine force, perhaps 3-way bifurcation of all those guys offering up larry ships might not have the same level of hardware. to what degree, different flavors of magtf, how do you change the interchangeability? >> not to try to make this simple because it is not, the marine corps is a

it's the man's department of the u.s. navy. it may be politically incorrect to say that, but i think you will understand. truman's you say that won,rience in world war i and his recognition of the casualties that likely would have occurred, how that factored into his decision to use the atomic bomb yet go -- from? >> i'm glad to picked up on that. him cominghat impact into being the war president. my sense of it is truman saw ar was. he experienced it. truman, and iing have studied it from afar, sometimes he would not respond in his letters and such. he is like the uncle that comes over on sunday and you make fun of him when he leaves. genius.as really and his determination to drop that bomb was well thought out. determination was you would listen to all the experts and make his mind up and his point it's going to save lives in the end. yes? >> the four stars and the five truman, i'ved dropped the bomb? >> i don't know who all those people were. the one person i think of was hesitant was macarthur, but all would have thought twi

no confirmation from the navy. the representative from the area, congressman desaulnier has a lot of questions he wants answered regarding this proposed plan. >> we would like to know what the plans are. does it happen in 60 days, 6 months? how long are you going to be there? how do you provide the infrastructure? what's the impact on our existing infrastructure? >> reporter: a special meetiout this and the mayor of concord has asked a representative of the navy to be there. but it's unclear if one will actually be attending. so this meeting is expected to happen at 1 p.m. today. the city council's also having their regularly scheduled meeting tonight at 6 p.m. but they don't plan on talking about this topic. from concord city hall, jackie ward, kpix 5. >>> campaign 2018. laura podesta reports. >>> reporter: in an upset that could send ripples throughout the democratic party, 28-year- old alexandria cortese beat 10- term new york congressman joseph crowley. the political newcomer has been a darling of the progressiv

the fleet. moving toward a 600-ship navy, we had 60. so i'm confident we'll get there. then it's a matter of what's on them. we need to build amphibs in the future differently thane' built them in the past. we can't always count that there's going to be a number of destroyers and cruisers to escort amphids or to tuck in. those warships in and of themselves need to have -- you know, what kind of defensive systems and offensive systems, vertical launch systems, for instance, that we may need to place on them in the future that we don't have today i think is important. to make sure they have resilient command and control systems on board, this they have all that's required to be part of the larger network force. so everything from c2 to fires to defensive systems is something that we'll look at. the auxiliaries are necessary but not preferred. an amphib gives you more capability, but out of necessity based on the number of amphibs we have today, we use the auxiliaries. best suited for a low-end operation than high-end war fighting. they're great platforms for staging a forc

i served in the navy for 11 years, and i came back to georgia for farming. one of the most memorable occasions i had was the volunteer of what they called a "pioneer missionary program." i would go somewhere every year assigned by the convention to bring other people to christ. one of my most memorable ones was to massachusetts and i had a leader there who is from new york. he was a cuban-american and his eloy cruz. i would read a few verses from the bible using a different vocabulary then i was using in the navy, and he would give the final salvation to followers of christ. he was more than successful in winning those souls to be christians. when we got through with our assignment in massachusetts and begin to leave to go back home, i asked him, what is the secret to your success? he said he was a little embarrassed about my question but he finally said, "i tried i two loves in my heart. one is for god and the other love that i try to have in my heart is for the person who happens to be in front of me at any particular time." that is a very profound a statem

almost 5,000 of them worked at the navy yard. just felt natural to try to imagine that story from the inside. >> it took you a long time. i was surprised to hear that it took you about 15 years of research to completion, right? i mean it was ages. why did it take so long, or is that just the way it goes? >> well, from 2005 to 2010, while working on other books, i was doing research for this book that involved to a large degree interviewing people in their 80s. so that was not -- those were not interviews i wanted to hold off on for five or ten years for obvious reasons. i mean this is a period that is really fast disappearing from living memory. so it's sort of an amazing moment actually. and between 2005 and 2010, i wan their 80s who had worked at the brooklyn navy yard and also longtime new yorkers with great memories and merchant sailors. so, i know, i just felt like hi to do it then. there was no way to wait. and then when i started writing the book in 2012, i also had to continue researching, of course, because then i really
