Biden Administration Halts Shipbuilding Updates Amidst Supply and Regulatory Issues
Biden Administration Halts Shipbuilding Updates Amidst Delays and Supply Chain Issues
The U.S. Navy is facing problems with building ships on time. The Biden administration has decided to stop its traditional ship briefings on how the shipbuilding is going. This decision comes after a report said there are issues with getting supplies and dealing with rules, making it hard to finish ships on schedule. Some ships are delayed by one to three years, which is worrying because the Navy needs them, especially with China’s actions in the Pacific Ocean.
Navy’s Shipbuilding Challenges Amid Supply Issues and Regulatory Hurdles Under Biden Administration’s Silence on Progress
People in Congress, like Rep. Rob Wittman, are upset about these delays because they affect our national defense. The Navy looked into the problems and found issues with things like getting parts and dealing with rules. Some blame the Biden administration’s rules and asking for too much from the shipbuilders. Even though the Pentagon spent a lot of money to make more ships, there’s still a holdup in Congress for more funding. This means the Navy might not get the ships it needs on time, which worries senators like Tim Kaine.
