I continually advocate for sustainable funding for our military to ensure we have the necessary resources to protect our homeland. We must modernize our Naval fleet, replace aging ships, and prepare for challenges arising from the Chinese Communist Party’s rising aggression.
Modernize the Navy fleet, replace aging ships, and maintain sustainable funding for the military.
Occurrences
Evidence
Wittman reported that he secured $2.2 million for shore power infrastructure for Virginia-class submarines at Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, and said the broader legislation also includes $1.5 billion for the Navy’s Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization program.
Wittman highlighted a Navy response saying his proposal to name CVN-84 USS Yorktown had been formally received and would be given full and earnest consideration.
Assessments
Wittman appears to have advanced Navy-related funding and infrastructure, including shore power for Virginia-class submarines and support tied to Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization, but the evidence does not show delivery of the broader promise to modernize the fleet, replace aging ships, and ensure sustainable military funding. This supports partial credit rather than full fulfillment.
