Description

Leaders responsible for the Sea Service budget will explore the status of their services for Fiscal Year 2024 and beyond, evaluating the feasibility of the budget to sustain the prominence of U.S. naval forces. Given China's emergence as a pacing threat and the expansion of its navy, the conversation will delve into an assessment of whether U.S. investments in national defense are robust enough to deter China effectively and satisfy the goals outlined in the National Security Strategy.
With China as a pacing threat and the expansion of its Navy, how has the Sea Service budget adapted to address the evolving security challenges in the maritime domain? 
How does the Sea Service budget balance short-term readiness requirements with long-term investments to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of U.S. naval forces?
How aligned is the FY 2024 Sea Service budget with the goals outlined in the National Security Strategy? How are you addressing any shortfalls? 
While inflation has stabilized, it continues to impact purchasing power and capabilities. How are you managing the rise in operating and support costs (O&S), particularly in areas such as wages and recruitment? Do you have the necessary buying power to effectively tackle upcoming challenges?
How does the current state of the defense industrial base impact the ability to maintain technological superiority over potential adversaries? How are you dealing with it? 
Are there specific areas within the defense industrial base that are particularly vulnerable or in need of investment to enhance the nation's overall security posture?
