U S Navy Announces It Will Implement Racist Critical Race Theory Throughout Fleet

U.S. Navy Announces It Will Implement Racist Critical Race Theory Throughout Fleet The U.S. Department of Defense released a memorandum Monday outlining its critical race theory initiative in the Department of the Navy that will take shape through “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Planning Actions” (DEI). The new effort instructs Caroline Kessmeier, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, to direct several “policies, programs, and operations” among the military. Kessmeier has been assigned to be the Chief Diversity Officer and told Defense Daily in April ” …I believe we must embrace and advocate for a diverse workforce and workplace environment.”

Puget Sound, nation s shipyards: Talk grows of billions for revamp

View Comments BREMERTON On a recent tour of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Gig Harbor, and Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Harker stopped to chat at the concrete edge of one of its six dry docks. In around a decade, the bathtub-shaped dock, closest to the downtown Bremerton waterfront, could become useless to the Navy.  Or, if a push for billions of dollars to overhaul the shipyard is successful, the aging structure could become the Navy s most advanced and versatile dry dock in the world.  It is very much the case that as we look into the 2030s, there s the real concern of obsolescence there, Kilmer said of the dock. I think there is increasing recognition by lawmakers that these investments in our shipyard infrastructure are really important.

Updated: 4:56 PM EDT May 1, 2021 NORFOLK, Va. In Hampton Roads, Navy employees are going back to having fewer restrictions in their activities as more Virginians continue to get vaccinated for COVID-19. The Department of the Navy said its installations were returning to Health Protection Condition Level Bravo on Saturday, May 1. This is happening after a meeting was held with the Office of the Secretary of Defense for the conditions under the HPCON level.  “We’re pleased that we’ve made significant progress in our fight against the coronavirus,” said Rear Adm. Charles Rock, Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic. “Sailors and DOD civilians are all doing their part by voluntarily getting vaccinated. It’s now easier than ever to get a vaccine, and the faster that people get vaccinated the faster we’ll be able to finally sink COVID-19 once and for all.”

Navy will fall far below mandated 355 ships as China churns out war vessels

Navy will fall far below mandated 355 ships as China churns out war vessels Abraham Mahshie © Provided by Washington Examiner Not since the Cold War era has the demand on Navy shipbuilding been so high, but the difference now is a flat defense budget and a decade of lost buying power, a top service official told lawmakers. Popular Searches By law, the Navy must have a 355-ship fleet but presently has just 296 ships, and its latest 30-year shipbuilding plan would not reach the requirement until 2031 to 2033 if it was funded fully. But that plan projects 4.1% budget increases each year. This year’s defense budget is flat (0% growth), making the benchmark to keep pace with China’s rapidly growing navy impossible, service officials and hawkish lawmakers warn.
