As the Navy’s largest U.S. trade show gets underway on Monday, officers in charge of the service’s marquee shipbuilding programs won’t offer the usual briefings with reporters and analysts about them.
That break from the tradition of sharing program updates at the Navy’s Sea-Air-Space Exposition comes just days after the Navy announced that four of its most critical shipbuilding programs are years behind schedule.
The Navy’s top admiral and civilian secretary have still not responded to questions about a damning Navy report released Tuesday outlining the sweeping failure of the Navy and its industrial partners to make expected progress on two submarine programs, an aircraft carrier and a new class of frigates.
“Our nation should be incredibly frustrated to see such systemic delays to our marquee shipbuilding programs,” Rep. Rob Wittman, (R-Va.) said.
The delays, from one to three years each depending on the program, come as the Navy and Pentagon pour billions into modernizing and upgrading shipyards in an attempt to build and repair ships more quickly and keep pace with China. Beijing’s navy has already surpassed the U.S. in size.
But supply chain issues caused by Covid and the Navy’s insistence on changing the design of its ships even as workers build them have thrown the service’s plans into uncertainty.
Aware of the issues for years, the Navy is still unsure how to fix them.

Start firing FlAG Officers and civilian contractors...........................
Well, they can certainly say that they’re first in DEI - isn’t that more important for the navy instead of something like building and maintaining ships?
“Navy Focused on DEI, Now It Can’t Figure Out How to Build Ships”
“America’s Navy values diversity, equality and inclusivity,” the woke Navy leadership claims. “We believe that when a diverse group of individuals come together to do a job, they can do it better because of their differences.”

supply chain issues caused by Covid 😵💫
Any excuse for failure will do.
In a way this is good- now the enemedia can’t run to our enemies overseas and tell them every blessed move that the navy plans to do- nor will they be able to tell the enemy the designs of the ship so that the enemy can prepare better.
I be,eive is was CBS who during the gu,f war was telling the positions of our militaries snipers and getting them killed. When asked to stop report8ng 0n their positions, they refused to stop. And they also reported o. Where the 4ed cross was which prompted the enemy to attack the red cross as well.
The left scream about “ethics being g violated by Israel” but the enemedia wouldn’t know ethics if it bit them on the ankle.
We spent a year in dry dock. When we finally got underway, our ship broke down within 15 minutes. We had to be towed back to the pier.
The Navy’s best and brightest have been run off by homo, trans and really undecided mentally ill morons.
The longer they are behind schedule, the better. With any luck, most surface ships will be cancelled. The majority of those planned or being built are obsolete today. The Houthis have proven the era of gunboat diplomacy is over. When we are blundered into a shooting, proxy less war with Iran, Russia, China or the NORKS, we will find the carrier battle group is nothing but a watery grave for thousands of USN sailors. Build submarines, not surface targets.
30-Year Naval Academy Teacher Details Depth
Of DEI Rot In America’s Military Institutions
.....the NAVY’s obsession is creating “resentment within the ranks,”students who speak out against
DEI-focused promotion system are punished, the ONLY way they can enforce this atrocity........
The ones that are saying that Trump, not their own navy incompetence, is the real national security risk?
Nut case Biden has “reordered” U.S. military priorities into a disastrous left-wing social experiment:
<><>employing enlisted drag queens to boost recruitment
<><>using taxpayer funds to host LGBT “pride” events on military installations,
<><>promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
<><>failing to address the biggest challenges hampering U.S. military readiness.
Case in point: The US Navy and Pentagon pour billions of tax dollars into modernizing and
upgrading shipyards to build and repair ships more quickly and keep pace with China.
Yet, Beijing’s navy has already surpassed the U.S. in size.
The Year of Hating Whitey helped accelerate the “woke” destruction of the US Navy.
“America’s Navy values diversity, equality and inclusivity,” the woke Navy leadership claims. “We believe that when a diverse group of individuals come together to do a job, they can do it better because of their differences.”
Now everybody in the Navy “respect’s” each other’s pronouns
..... But They Can’t Figure Out How to Build Ships.
