Trump Nominates Businessman John Phelan as Navy Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated John Phelan, a businessman with no military experience, as the next secretary of the Navy. If confirmed, Phelan would be the first non-veteran in 15 years to hold the position, overseeing a vast workforce and budget. Trump praised Phelan's business acumen and leadership skills, emphasizing his commitment to the 'America First' vision. Phelan's appointment contrasts with the recent trend of veterans holding the role, as 20 of the last 26 Navy secretaries were veterans.
