I and Ken Hansen are in pretty solid agreement that we simply must solve the missing AOR problem.
There is good news on the suggestion from Op Resolve. As an interim measure, we will take a converted merchantman of some form and convert it into a temporary tanker. That is a stopgap, but the current plans on the books are as stated. There are only joint support ships. At any particular time in the future, the odds are 30% that either the Atlantic or the Pacific will not have a tanker because it's in refit. So that's almost job number one.
Job number two is if we're to replace our submarines, we have to start planning now, and that goes to that overall problem of inadequate funding for capital.
I'll probably leave to somebody else to ask the question, because I could go on at quite some considerable length on what must be done from a fore-structure point of view, from a base point of view, from a personnel point of view, of what is required to get our capital into line—unless you'd like me to do that now.
