Trump just made a 355-ship Navy national policy
By: David B. Larter   1 day ago
WASHINGTON — Achieving a 355-ship Navy is now national policy, but the goal is still a long way off.
When U.S. President Donald Trump signed the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act on Tuesday, it included a provision sponsored by Senate Seapower Subcommittee Chairman Roger Wicker and his House counterpart, Rep. Rob Wittman, that calls for the country to build up to 355 ships “as soon as practicable.â€
The provision is contingent on the requisite appropriations, which means it’s anything but a sure bet.
