Navy is proposing a $12 billion investment over the next five years in unmanned vessels. We need to prove out new unmanned technology before we begin serial production. We should carefully introduce new technology to avoid overpromising and underdelivering. — PolitiTweet.org

(6/6) We have the best fighting force in the world, but if we cannot get them to the fight, then we have a problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

(5/6) At the same time, I do not believe that we can sustain a new construction option to support the administration’s $550 million per hull assessment and look forward to perusing other options that reduce this $25 billion new construction recapitalization effort. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

(3/6) I see serious issues with the administration’s legislative proposal that would solely rely on procuring used, foreign built vessels to recapitalize our surge sealift capacity. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

(2/6) In sealift, the only change from last year is that our sealift force has aged another year, can only accomplish 40 percent of required tasking and the administration is prepared to accelerate the decline of this essential logistics force. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Rob Wittman @RobWittman

(1/6) We were able to get the Cable Ship Security Program authorized last year, and I look forward to continuing to push forward the, as you could say, not flashy but entirely necessary programs—such as the Tanker Security Program. — PolitiTweet.org
