The Senate Armed Services Committee's $750 billion budget plan would restore some funding for Navy warships that Marines say they need to get to the fight.
The committee's plan adds almost $1 billion on top of President Donald Trump's 2020 budget request to speed up the delivery of two amphibious ships. The committee's planned $24.1 billion to fund a dozen new Navy vessels includes $650 million above the administration's request for a new amphibious assault ship and nearly $278 million more for a new amphibious transport dock ship.
