Pentagon Plan For Amphibious Warships Would Violate Law, Hobble Crisis Response

This week the Marine Corps released its “unfunded priorities list” for the fiscal year beginning October 1, meaning the programs it most needs that were not funded in president’s budget request for the year.

To the surprise of no one who has been paying attention, the top unfunded priority on the list is another San Antonio-class amphibious warship.

Amphibious transport docks, or “LPDs” as they are referred in naval nomenclature, are essential to the movement of Marine forces in wartime and peacetime.

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
