WASHINGTON: Angered by the service’s use of annual unfunded priority lists, House appropriators are poised to carve up the Navy’s fiscal year 2022 budget request in order to purchase a second DDG-51 Flight III destroyer.
“This represents a troubling trend of underfunding ship acquisition programs and then requesting the removed ship as the highest priority on the unfunded priority list,” the House Appropriations Committee wrote in a draft report accompanying the FY22 defense spending bill. The committee is set to mark up the defense bill Tuesday.

Asked about over tasking sailors and assets and its effects on retention, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday described a need for the service to adequately balance modernization with readiness and operating forward.
