The Pentagon's top officer overseeing military sealift capabilities said this week he is working with the Defense Department's No. 2 civilian to find funding starting in FY-21 to accelerate the procurement of used sealift vessels. TRANSCOM Commander Army Gen. Steve Lyons told reporters at an Oct. 2 Defense Writers Group breakfast there's "work right now at the department to fund the seven" ships authorized in the fiscal year 2018 and FY-19 National Defense Authorization Acts.
