Attack Sub Boise Overhaul At Risk Under One-Year Continuing Resolution

The long-awaited overhaul of the idle attack submarine USS Boise (SSN-764) is in jeopardy if Congress does not pass a budget, the Navy’s number-two civilian told reporters Wednesday.

Should the Department of Defense need to operate under a one-year stop-gap spending bill for Fiscal Year 2024, then the Navy is looking at $26 billion in a funding shortfall and misaligned funds, Under Secretary Erik Raven said.

The overhaul of Boise, a Los Angeles-class attack submarine that lost its dive certification in 2017 due to ongoing delays at the public shipyards, would once again get postponed.

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
