Problems identified after a pair of at-sea accidents killed 17 sailors in 2017 still persist across the Navy, and those at the top must do more to address them, key lawmakers said Tuesday.

Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Westmoreland, said the challenges go beyond specific causes and “will take years of leadership focus and sustained funding to correct.”

He also chided the service for classifying information “to hide the true depth of readiness challenges that plague the Navy today.”
