Pick up the interesting topics of naval security from the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Navy trend reports and so on. Also, I will make a note and follow on my ideas.

Report of program objective memorandum ‘23

Defense news, USN must pick between destroyer, fighter or sub for FY23 plan.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Navy may have to pick just one of three major modernization programs on the horizon to fund — pursuing a new destroyer, a new attack submarine or a new fighter jet, the acting Navy secretary warns in a recent memo. The other two due would be postponed to budget limitations, he wrote.

A June 4 memo from acting Navy Secretary Thomas Harker stated that, in line with recently reissued fiscal guidance from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the service should be prepared to fully fund certain top priorities in its fiscal 2023 planning cycle but cut back in other areas.

 

Btw, "Abandon Nuclear Cruise MissileI" means not only to abandon the missiles but also the abandon the stretegy of Mutually Assured Distruction in future which has prevented nuclear war, or, just the replacement of Tomahawk?
