Modly will present Navy shipbuilding recommendations to Esper

摘要

Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly is planning in the coming days to present the defense secretary with a plan for how the service can reach its goal of 355 ships. "I think it's my obligation to give the president a plan, give the secretary of defense a plan for how we can get there at the lowest amount of cost," Modly said today at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. He added that the plan he presents needs to be more immediate than the service's 30-year shipbuilding plan.
