Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Angus King (I-ME) emphasized the need for a long-term shipbuilding plan during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, seeking commitment from Admiral Daryl Caudle, the nominee for Chief of Naval Operations. King stated that a 30-year shipbuilding plan would provide "consistent demand signals" crucial for shipyards like Bath Iron Works and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
Admiral Caudle acknowledged the importance of a stable shipbuilding framework, stating, "Changing year 31 is okay, but not year 1," in support of multi-year procurement that supporters argue can help maintain workforce stability. King reiterated the need for predictability in defense contracts to prevent workforce loss.
King, a committee member, has voiced strong support for the industrial base, recently urging long-term investment strategies to avoid gaps in contracted work that threaten national security. His advocacy aligns with discussions around best practices from the private sector to enhance shipbuilding efficiency.
