Thank you to both witnesses for being here with us again.
You said the second need was to maintain our shipbuilding strategy. My question for you is which shipbuilding strategy? What we had initially was a shipbuilding strategy that talked about Arctic patrol ships, originally eight, then six, and now five. We talked about service combatants that used to be a minimum of 15, and now it's a ceiling of 15. We've talked about the supply ships. The number used to be three, and now it's two, maybe three.
My concern is that while everyone says they support the shipbuilding strategy, the strategy is actually morphing into something less than it originally was. It's becoming a ceiling rather than a floor of what the military needs.
Do you have any comments on that?
