I 823 00:33:01,260 --> 00:33:03,880 can't have that thing in front of um 824 00:33:03,890 --> 00:33:05,946 And can you can you kind of put some 825 00:33:05,946 --> 00:33:09,400 color as to why that um The number is 826 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,310 dance you bet . So it was 827 00:33:13,310 --> 00:33:15,310 JsF first And the first part of the 828 00:33:15,310 --> 00:33:16,588 question again , sir ? 829 00:33:19,170 --> 00:33:21,760 Track so FFT 830 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,640 two years previously there was some 831 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,862 consideration about opening up a second 832 00:33:27,862 --> 00:33:30,084 yard and trying to get to uh you know , 833 00:33:30,084 --> 00:33:32,307 a more profound building profile of F . 834 00:33:32,307 --> 00:33:35,410 F . G . Throttled back one yard looking 835 00:33:35,410 --> 00:33:37,910 at what we would call a sawtooth . So 836 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,031 what you see in the budget request is 837 00:33:40,031 --> 00:33:42,850 what one yard can can build over the 838 00:33:42,850 --> 00:33:45,017 fit up . And so that answers the first 839 00:33:45,017 --> 00:33:47,680 part with respect to JsF , the numbers 840 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,830 did come down from a previous budget 841 00:33:50,830 --> 00:33:53,390 view and that simply reflects the 842 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,511 balance of this budget request as you 843 00:33:55,511 --> 00:33:58,160 looked at our portfolios increasing for 844 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,710 ship construction and R and D while 845 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,720 focusing on readiness and we have a 846 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,700 whole force JSF simply we 847 00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:09,700 chose to bring those numbers down . 848 00:34:10,940 --> 00:34:13,162 Alright , well , go on , go on . Valium 849 00:34:13,162 --> 00:34:16,370 already in defense and aerospace . Hi 850 00:34:16,370 --> 00:34:19,550 everybody . Thanks very much for 851 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,550 talking to us today . Um but the 852 00:34:22,550 --> 00:34:25,760 question I've got is at a time when 853 00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:27,629 there's almost universal 854 00:34:27,629 --> 00:34:29,796 acknowledgement that the United States 855 00:34:29,796 --> 00:34:31,907 Navy is not large enough . How is the 856 00:34:31,907 --> 00:34:34,073 Navy justifying these ship retirements 857 00:34:34,073 --> 00:34:36,470 including for nine littoral combat 858 00:34:36,470 --> 00:34:39,500 ships ? Right that four billion or so 859 00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:41,720 dollars could have addressed other 860 00:34:41,720 --> 00:34:43,800 modernization priorities . It could 861 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,540 have addressed readiness concerns that 862 00:34:46,540 --> 00:34:48,818 could have addressed shipyard concerns . 863 00:34:49,140 --> 00:34:51,251 How how are you guys justifying these 864 00:34:51,251 --> 00:34:54,990 retirements ? Well , 865 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,220 we were taking that consider in 866 00:34:57,220 --> 00:34:59,387 consideration a lot of the things that 867 00:34:59,387 --> 00:35:01,331 you just mentioned and it's a hard 868 00:35:01,331 --> 00:35:02,887 thing to make a decision to 869 00:35:02,887 --> 00:35:04,942 decommission ships . But what we are 870 00:35:04,942 --> 00:35:07,430 looking at is what offers the best 871 00:35:07,430 --> 00:35:09,840 capability against the threats that we 872 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,970 are facing . And so as we think about 873 00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:14,170 how to build a force that we can 874 00:35:14,170 --> 00:35:16,448 sustain within the budget that we have , 875 00:35:16,540 --> 00:35:18,707 um that's how we've made some of these 876 00:35:18,707 --> 00:35:21,100 again , tough decisions and as we look 877 00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:23,990 across LCS , this is a place where we 878 00:35:23,990 --> 00:35:27,180 have identified that there are um real 879 00:35:27,180 --> 00:35:29,291 costs , especially at the freedom for 880 00:35:29,291 --> 00:35:31,347 the freedom class to be able to make 881 00:35:31,347 --> 00:35:33,513 some of the repairs that are needed on 882 00:35:33,513 --> 00:35:35,624 those as we measure that against . Um 883 00:35:35,624 --> 00:35:37,870 What is the best contribution to the 884 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,630 capabilities that we need ? We are 885 00:35:40,630 --> 00:35:42,800 getting . We are not finding that we 886 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,770 need to have the anti uh submarine 887 00:35:45,780 --> 00:35:48,002 mission set anymore . And so we're able 888 00:35:48,002 --> 00:35:50,058 to take that from the d come and put 889 00:35:50,058 --> 00:35:52,280 some of that funding towards um some of 890 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,113 the capability that we need . Um 891 00:35:54,113 --> 00:35:56,058 Similarly , we're grateful for the 892 00:35:56,058 --> 00:35:58,224 support for the Decommissioning of the 893 00:35:58,224 --> 00:36:00,169 cruisers . This is this is a place 894 00:36:00,169 --> 00:36:02,690 where we can prioritize safety um and 895 00:36:02,690 --> 00:36:04,857 also be able to make sure that overall 896 00:36:04,857 --> 00:36:06,746 we have the right mix to meet the 897 00:36:06,746 --> 00:36:08,912 capability and capacity that we need . 898 00:36:09,930 --> 00:36:12,570 If I could add to the unders answer is 899 00:36:12,570 --> 00:36:15,640 this is about opportunity cost a S . W . 900 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,000 Mission that went away uh roughly 901 00:36:19,010 --> 00:36:21,980 $50 million a year . Support costs for 902 00:36:21,980 --> 00:36:24,640 these vessels and the opportunity to 903 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,410 reinvest 1.8 billion when this A S . W . 904 00:36:27,410 --> 00:36:29,577 Mission set is going to be taken up by 905 00:36:29,577 --> 00:36:31,632 the frigate of which were buying the 906 00:36:31,632 --> 00:36:33,521 fourth of the line in this budget 907 00:36:33,521 --> 00:36:37,510 request . So it it speaks to a a 908 00:36:37,860 --> 00:36:39,749 return on investment to get after 909 00:36:39,749 --> 00:36:41,860 lethality . We need for our near peer 910 00:36:41,860 --> 00:36:44,560 competitor . Alright next in defense 911 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,480 news research and development budget . 912 00:36:48,490 --> 00:36:50,960 Um I can see in the slides you have 913 00:36:50,970 --> 00:36:53,950 line items for S . S . N . X . G . X . 914 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,450 Next generation air dominance last year 915 00:36:56,450 --> 00:36:58,339 there has been a memo outlining a 916 00:36:58,339 --> 00:37:00,394 concern that it would be different . 917 00:37:00,394 --> 00:37:02,394 That's been all through at the same 918 00:37:02,394 --> 00:37:04,283 time . And I just wonder if these 919 00:37:04,283 --> 00:37:03,930 dollar announced that you have 920 00:37:03,940 --> 00:37:06,107 represented keeping all three programs 921 00:37:06,107 --> 00:37:08,162 on track or if anyone had to be like 922 00:37:08,162 --> 00:37:10,162 accelerated or decelerated based on 923 00:37:10,162 --> 00:37:13,690 budget concerns . Thank you for that 924 00:37:13,690 --> 00:37:15,840 question . Um , 925 00:37:17,830 --> 00:37:21,150 I would suggest that right now , I 926 00:37:21,150 --> 00:37:23,372 personally am not tracking when we need 927 00:37:23,372 --> 00:37:25,340 to have the next ship design come 928 00:37:25,340 --> 00:37:27,340 online . So I forgive me for that . 929 00:37:27,430 --> 00:37:29,600 What this does represent though is the 930 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,544 acknowledgement that we do need to 931 00:37:31,544 --> 00:37:33,656 invest in those feature classes . And 932 00:37:33,656 --> 00:37:36,740 so um with S . S , N . X . And DDGS , 933 00:37:36,740 --> 00:37:38,851 you certainly see that and although N 934 00:37:38,851 --> 00:37:41,960 got is a , you know , a classified line 935 00:37:42,330 --> 00:37:45,000 investments do go up over the hip 936 00:37:45,010 --> 00:37:47,177 somewhat dramatically for engaged . So 937 00:37:47,177 --> 00:37:49,288 we know we have to get after this and 938 00:37:49,288 --> 00:37:51,399 this reflects our best balance versus 939 00:37:51,399 --> 00:37:53,454 risk on those platforms . We need to 940 00:37:53,454 --> 00:37:57,310 move out on Justin cats bring defense . 941 00:37:58,530 --> 00:38:01,670 Um , the shifty commissioning , just 942 00:38:01,670 --> 00:38:03,781 two pointed questions . The first one 943 00:38:03,781 --> 00:38:06,170 is how much money do you anticipate you 944 00:38:06,170 --> 00:38:09,110 can save If you decommission all 24 945 00:38:09,110 --> 00:38:12,450 ships and then a follow up , is there 946 00:38:12,460 --> 00:38:15,320 another portion of your budget that is 947 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,650 depending upon the savings you expect 948 00:38:17,650 --> 00:38:19,761 from those Decommissioning ? In other 949 00:38:19,761 --> 00:38:21,483 words , will you have a budget 950 00:38:21,483 --> 00:38:23,650 shortfall if everything else stays the 951 00:38:23,650 --> 00:38:25,372 same but you're not allowed to 952 00:38:25,372 --> 00:38:27,706 decommission some of those ships ? Yeah , 953 00:38:27,706 --> 00:38:31,310 thank you Justin um The so 954 00:38:31,310 --> 00:38:34,350 24 ships , 16 of which somewhat early , 955 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:38,100 certainly the LCS , The total value 956 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,640 of the reinvestment opportunities 3.6 957 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,250 billion across the top now , um , 958 00:38:46,020 --> 00:38:48,020 sometimes Congress opines that they 959 00:38:48,020 --> 00:38:50,076 don't want us to decommission ship . 960 00:38:50,076 --> 00:38:51,798 And generally we work with the 961 00:38:51,798 --> 00:38:54,290 committees to restore value to , for 962 00:38:54,290 --> 00:38:56,346 example , our personnel and opposite 963 00:38:56,346 --> 00:38:58,290 maintenance lines to sustain those 964 00:38:58,290 --> 00:39:01,010 ships . If that were not to happen , 965 00:39:01,010 --> 00:39:03,343 then that would be a hole in the budget . 966 00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:06,690 3.6 for all 24 ships . That's correct . 967 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,142 All right . We have time for one . Last 968 00:39:10,142 --> 00:39:12,476 question will go to Mallory us and I Hi , 969 00:39:12,476 --> 00:39:14,642 thanks so much . I wanted to follow up 970 00:39:14,642 --> 00:39:16,420 on what you said about the next 971 00:39:16,420 --> 00:39:18,587 generation . Your dominance . You said 972 00:39:18,587 --> 00:39:20,142 the investments go up quite 973 00:39:20,142 --> 00:39:22,198 dramatically throughout the fed up . 974 00:39:22,198 --> 00:39:22,040 This is a multibillion dollar program 975 00:39:22,050 --> 00:39:24,217 for the sixth generation fighter . How 976 00:39:24,217 --> 00:39:25,994 do you justify classifying that 977 00:39:25,994 --> 00:39:28,217 spending and how long do you think it's 978 00:39:28,217 --> 00:39:30,439 going to be classified ? And and how do 979 00:39:30,439 --> 00:39:32,606 you make the case to the taxpayer that 980 00:39:32,606 --> 00:39:34,828 you need this money when you can't tell 981 00:39:34,828 --> 00:39:36,994 them how much it is ? Yeah , Thank you 982 00:39:36,994 --> 00:39:39,050 for that question . Are are folks on 983 00:39:39,050 --> 00:39:41,161 the hill who monitor this program and 984 00:39:41,161 --> 00:39:43,161 approve those budgets are read into 985 00:39:43,161 --> 00:39:43,120 these programs and they have full 986 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,898 access to understand what we're 987 00:39:44,898 --> 00:39:47,009 requesting and what they cost . Thank 988 00:39:47,009 --> 00:39:48,787 you . But why is it ? Classic . 989 00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:52,942 Um , you'd have to direct that question 990 00:39:52,942 --> 00:39:55,164 to the program manager . That's all the 991 00:39:55,164 --> 00:39:57,387 time that we have for today . Thank you 992 00:39:57,387 --> 00:39:58,540 for coming . Yes , sir
