Navy says it's tapped 'senior technical authorities' for all ship classes

摘要

The Navy says it's appointed "senior technical authorities" for each ship class and decided to tap existing senior executive service personnel from engineering directorates to fill the roles. Lawmakers in the fiscal year 2020 defense policy bill required the Navy to install the new position, citing a June 2018 Government Accountability Office analysis that concluded the service has continually overfunded and under delivered in its shipbuilding programs.
