Priorities

To meet the future demands of our maritime system, we must recapitalize and build capacity. The Navy League supports:

• Fund the Procurement Budget at least $2B/year to fully fund the Offshore Patrol Cutter and other recapitalization efforts like the inland waterways fleet.
• Increase Operations funds by 5% per year to improve readiness and retention.
• Deliver at least six new Fast Response Cutters (FRCs) per year.
• Construction contract for the Polar Security Cutter.
• Aviation and C4ISR improvements, including polar aviation.
• Recapitalize Shore Infrastructure:  $1.7B of improvement backlog should be funded at least $300M/year.
• Grow the workforce by adding 5,000 active duty and 1,100 reservists.
