I wanted to share some thoughts regarding the recent 45-Day review of Navy shipbuilding. Bottom line is that the SECNAV should be commended for demanding the review and NAVSEA should be scrutinized for its common role in all of these delays. We must get at the common systemic problem that has caused five major programs to experience multi-year delays, and no, its not just COVID. https://lnkd.in/eueU-iRr

Photos: USS Zumwalt Undocking Marks Major Milestone in Navy’s Push for Hypersonic Weapons 07-12-2024 HII's Ingalls Shipbuilding division has successfully undocked the USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000), marking a crucial step in the destroyer's modernization program that includes the Navy's first integration of advanced hypersonic capabilities. This significant milestone signifies a major breakthrough in the development of hypersonic technologies for the US Navy. The USS Zumwalt, a cutting-edge destroyer, is equipped with a range of advanced features, including a redesigned hull, improved combat systems, and an advanced propulsion system. The integration of hypersonic capabilities will further enhance the destroyer's combat prowess, allowing it to engage targets at unprecedented speeds and ranges. The successful undocking of the USS Zumwalt is a testament to the expertise and capabilities of HII's Ingalls Shipbuilding division. The team's dedication to delivering high-quality, cutting-edge vessels has been instrumental in the Navy's modernization efforts. As the US Navy continues to push the boundaries of innovation, the integration of hypersonic capabilities on the USS Zumwalt represents a significant step forward. This achievement will have far-reaching implications for the future of naval warfare and the development of advanced technologies.

https://lnkd.in/dACRFcD9 Righting the Ship: Strengthening US Navy Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Hudson Institute 17 Jan 2025 The United States Navy faces challenges across many of its shipbuilding programs. Thanks to numerous causes, some programs are years behind schedule. At the same time, China is building up its fleet and intensifying threats against US allies. The chief of naval operations and other Pentagon leaders are concerned that Beijing may be preparing to move against Taiwan in the next two years. While the US may be unable to surge production of existing ships by that time, the Navy could increase the number of available vessels by improving ship repair, accelerating new, smaller ship classes, and buying or chartering ships built by shipyards in allied countries. Please join Hudson Senior Fellow Bryan Clark for a discussion with Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition Nickolas Guertin. Following the discussion, a panel of industry experts will address further challenges and opportunities to expand the US Navy fleet.

The best way to think how hard you go for something is how Naval explains it - What you work on, people you work with and how hard you work on that thing matter in that order.

A team at the Naval Surface Warfare Center has invented a new version of austenitic steel with high strength and low corrosion properties.

Recruiting and Readiness Challenges Loom as U.S. Navy Nears 250 Years The U.S. Navy's next anniversary approaches, but challenges in recruiting, shipbuilding, and global readiness cast a shadow over its future. https://lnkd.in/gmXV_9mz

The Marine Commandant, Gen. Eric Smith, has stated that a new classified memorandum focused on amphibious ship readiness will have a lasting impact even beyond his tenure and that of Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti. This memorandum emphasizes the importance of preparing amphibious ships and serves as a reminder to all personnel to prioritize readiness. Despite previous concerns about disagreements between the US Navy and United States Marine Corps, the memorandum demonstrates their alignment and commitment to addressing readiness issues together. Gen. Smith also highlighted that while amphibious warfare is a significant mission for the Marines, they recognize the challenges faced by the Navy in other shipbuilding areas. This memorandum aims to record their agreement and ensure a shared understanding of requirements and training for amphibious ships. By emphasizing the significance of amphibious readiness, the Marines aim to address past concerns and maintain a strong and prepared fleet. #MarineCorps #AmphibiousReadiness #Navy #MilitaryLeadership #DefenseReadiness
