JUST IN: Parts, Labor Shortages Continue to Plague Navy (Updated)

ARLINGTON, Virginia — Shortages of parts and skilled laborers are continuing to put the Navy behind in both building new ships and maintaining existing ones, a senior service officer said Jan. 30.

A “walk across the country” through various U.S. Navy shipbuilding projects highlighted a challenge in both new construction and sustainment across ongoing projects, Vice Adm. William Galinis, commander of Naval Sea Systems Command, said at the American Society of Naval Engineers’ Intelligent Ships Symposium.

“We are just not meeting the market,” Galinis said in a keynote speech at the event. He listed scheduling and cost performance among the Navy’s hindrances, but also a dwindling workforce and “unacceptable” lead time on parts.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

As if this wasn't bad enough.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
