it is s the ability of the survivable leg of the triad to suive. that is based in large part on the ability to disperse undetected. when you run the numbers on that, you come up with fleet of 12 ships. vago: you mentioned the virginia payload module. it is a critical capability for the submarine force. it is an 85-foot section that will be added to the virginia clclass with four tubes for munitions and unmanned vehicles and some capacity. why is that such an important capability for the submarine force? is it going to be enough to replace the four guided missile submarines you have, each of which carries 4 tubes but are ohio class ships that are also aging? >> it is a huge part of our strategy for the fundamental reason t that as we look going forward, we e going to have to be mh more adaptable than we have been in the past. as we build these ships, they will have to bring on board generations of technology we have not seen before. this modification triples the large payload to capacity -- tube capacity of the virginia class which will allow to car

it said we should retain the triad of nuclear forces.i'm happy to talk about that in the questions and answers. we should maintain a modern infrastructure and maintain a highly capable workforce. some of you need to become a part of that workforce whether you are working on policies or public policies associated with it or the engineering -- we need you. we need to pursue a viable hedge strategy that reduces the overall number of weapons while ensuring that the reliability of the individual weapons are high. clarity, consensus, and visual commitment are needed from the top-down and all need to be aligned with the relevance and assurance of 21st century concepts. so, let me say in conclusion, i think our nuclear deterrent has served us very well since august of 1945 and i think it will continue to play a vital role in our national security for a long time. thank you again for inviting me and a look forward to your questions. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much, general. we will do the q&a. i will do the privilege of asking the fi

triad's nelson peltz begs to differ and joins us exclusively to respond. microsoft at 40. as the company marks the milestone are its best days ahead or is the software giant going gray a little too soon? we begin with stocks pushing higher, at least trying to ahead of the jobs report. made even more so by the fact the fed's getting closer to raising interest rates we think. and earnings season is just around the corner we know. sets up a good debate over which is more important to investors right now as the next catalyst for stocks. josh, what do you think? >> i think that's probably the issue that most people are most pessimistic about, is this is a down quarter for earnings. and more than that, factset is reporting that you've got 85 companies in the s&p that have given negative guidance for the first quarter earnings season that's coming up and you've only got 16 companies giving positive guidance and that is the worst skew. you have to go back to 2006 to find a quarter where you saw that much in terms of bad guidance. the good news is most of the reason for it is dolla

this replacement of our strategic nuclear submarine force, which is the most survivable leg of our triad. and the importance of that as we see the modernization of strategic nuclear capabilities in both countries like china and russia. >> just finally, the submarine appears to be the only weapons system that still can approach virtually to the shores of china and deliver if necessary weapons. is that true? >> well, i wouldn't say it's the only system. >> okay. that's more encouraging. thank you very much. >> senator? >> thank you, mr. chairman. first of all, admiral locklear, let me thank you again for the hospitality you afforded us in our whole group when we were in hawaii and we laid the wreath on the memorial of the uss oklahoma. that was -- you went beyond your call of duty. on that same trip, we went to south korea. at that time, i recall in some of our meetings there they were talking about the use of a -- or now the use of the cluster munitions. because of the proximity between north korea and south korea, that's where they were most effectively used at that time. now we have a p
