As the U.S. military’s technological competitive advantage begins to shrink next to its competitors like China and Russia, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson is asking the Navy to dial back its discussions of the Navy’s warfighting capabilities, according to a memo published by Inside Defense.
"I need your help to ensure we are not giving away our competitive edge by sharing too much information publicly,” Richardson said. “When it comes to specific operational capabilities however, very often less is more.”
