The briefing must cover the status of the new vessel design, plans for a vessel construction manager program, funding for the authorized 10-ship construction program, and how purchases of new and used vessels will work together during the transition.

Messmer's bill would require the Navy and Maritime Administration to provide Congress a detailed briefing within 180 days on RRF vessel design, construction management, funding, and transition procurement.
