"Congressional Push for Two Submarines Challenges US Navy's Plans"

A House panel is pushing for the US Navy to buy two attack submarines in fiscal 2025, despite the Navy requesting just one. The Navy argues that advanced procurement funds and investments in the submarine-industrial base can compensate for the lack of a second submarine, but lawmakers, led by Rep. Joe Courtney, disagree, emphasizing the need for a consistent demand signal for orders and business. They argue that the industrial base is recovering and expanding, with increased hiring and construction rates, and advocate for continuous procurement at a rate of two submarines per year to support the submarine-industrial base's momentum.

The strategy emphasizes the need for a more robust, resilient, and dynamic modernized defense industrial ecosystem to meet the demands of the current and future strategic environment. It outlines strategic priorities including resilient supply chains, workforce readiness, flexible acquisition, and economic deterrence, and emphasizes the importance of cooperation and coordination between the U.S. government, private industry, and international allies and partners.

AUKUS submarine deal faces criticism and challenges.

The US is optimistic that investments in the submarine industrial base will increase capacity to and even above the required two-a-year attack sub construction rate, allowing the US to build for Australia under the new AUKUS agreement without restricting the American fleet. The industrial base must sustain a minimum construction rate of two Virginia-class attack submarines and one Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine per year throughout this decade and into the next. The Navy is investing billions of dollars in the submarine industrial base to cut maintenance timelines, making the submarines the US Navy has more operationally available. Australia will invest $3 billion in the US and UK submarine industrial bases over the next four years.
