House lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are pushing back against the Pentagon's proposal to fund the procurement of just one Virginia-class attack submarine in fiscal 2025 instead of two.

Rep. Joe Courtney, D-Conn., Rob Wittman, R-Va., and 118 other lawmakers made the case in a May 1 letter to the chamber's top defense appropriators as Congress drafts its FY25 defense budget.
 
"Preserving a consistent production schedule is essential for shipyard and industrial base stability, and to meet the Navy's operational requirements," the lawmakers wrote in a letter to Defense Appropriations Chairman Ken Calvert, R-Calif., and Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., the panel's top Democrat.

"This is exactly why Congress has strongly supported and defended the consistent two-per-year build rate of Virginia-class attack submarines since 2011."

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

They aren't pushing back about jack sh*t!! **nononono* Its election season and they are only trying to seduce pro-military and military voters into thinking they support the military.  In real life they can't agree what the day of the week is.  This is nothing but a massive con by congress.
