they sent a team of investigators and also from the united states navy investigators and sent a deepr three miles into that water to confirm with 100% certainty that this is the wreckage from el faro. they have been using equipment in the area for a week the last time they spotted it off the east of the bahamas. they believe this is the wreckage but go in underwater today to figure out if this is it. one month since the ship went missing on sha that voyage from jacksonville to puerto rico. 33 members on board and 28 of them are americans. the families of these crewmembers on board have been looking for closure this last month. >> have we heard from them all since this news broke? >> the last week, actually. one of the family members of these victims has filed a lawsuit against the owner of the vessel. they are seeking damages. because, according to local reports, because of an existing maritime law, they can only see up to $30,000 in damages which doesn't seem like that much money considering exactly what they have gone through over the course of the last four weeks. >> we know that

i'm very proud to serve the united states navy. the great naval name, plus i grew up in maine where you might have heard they build ships. so yes i am a navy partisan but my support for a strong and capable navy is more than just parochial. it is integral to a strategy of restraint in think about the missions that are navy may be expected to perform and the ships only to perform them, we should focus on numbers of ships in the fleet today but rather on the cost and capabilities of those of the future. investing substantial share of the shipbuilding budget on just a few aircraft carriers leaves less money for small surface combatants. where do submarines fit into the mix was the budget must account for them. understanding these trade-offs is crucial. we should not build or fleet around the supposition it will be continuous engaged in offensive operations all around the world. the u.s. navy should be a search a force capable of deploying give local actors fail to address threats, not a permanent presence force committed to preventing
