The Navy has made great strides in restoring readiness, laying a foundation to increase lethality, Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer said Wednesday.
Describing the service's "readiness hole" as so large that it stunned him when he discovered its scope after becoming secretary in 2017, Spencer said the surface Navy has taken major steps to improve training, staffing, education and maintenance.
"The spirit of 'doing more with less' produced unintended but yet completely unacceptable consequences," he said at the Surface Navy Association's annual symposium in Arlington, Virginia. "We have committed ourselves to instilling readiness and lethality across the force."
