If US PACOM & Pacific Fleet have developed a lessons learned list from the Red Sea & Strait of Hormuz campaigns that does not put "VLS Reload" at the very top, then we should all be worried.

Congress has provided the direction:
FY25 NDAA: Sec. 1027
Congress formally mandated that SECNAV submit a strategy to deliver a rearm-at-sea capability to the surface fleet
FY26 NDAA: Sec. 323 & Sec. 334
Congress designated USTRANSCOM as the global manager responsible for mitigating vulnerabilities in contested logistics, including overseeing global deployment, distribution, ammunition stock posture, and intra-theater resupply

What is actually happening to improve this capability?

“We’ve spent enough time asking whether unmanned surface vessels have a place in the fleet. They do. The question now is how quickly we can make them a dependable part of it.”

This is crazy. Literally been with the Orioles for longer than Alby has been alive. You treat Palmer like royalty because he is. Do not blow this man off. This is really irritating.

China’s Maritime Threat Doesn’t Deserve a Pause:
Last October in Busan, South Korea, Xi-Trump agreed to a raft of deals, most obligations at best China has only partially met. When it comes to Chinese shipbuilding and shipping - naval threats, shipping manipulation/coercion, and espionage from their ships should weigh on the conversations today in the White House.
The pause on fines/fees on Chinese shipping and shipbuilding due to unfair and predatory practices is due to lapse in November. Might be a good time to end that pause now… and certainly not resume it as the fines/fees are intended to fund an American maritime revival which President Trump has committed to vigorously.

Great speaking at the @PotomacOfficers Club today on building the Golden Fleet.
Our message to industry is simple: if you can compete, perform, and scale—you have a place at the table. The Department of the Navy is open for business.
