Spent my morning with the shipbuilders @GDBIW. It’s clear that they’re working hard to build these @USNavy destroyers right, build them fast and get them into the Fleet where they belong. https://t.co/Ji8lO1gRQ6

Great day at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. The @USNavy is learning fast, adapting in real time and sharpening repair efforts to get our nuclear-powered attack submarines back to the fleet as quickly as possible. https://t.co/9Ei5Eiv04G

Nuclear power, unmatched skill and American strength. Only in America and only in Hampton Roads do we build @USNavy nuclear-powered supercarriers. They’re the backbone of the Fleet, just like the shipbuilders and Sailors who make them possible. https://t.co/QLs6XRIzbA

Starting my day with a visit to the @NNSYNews meeting with our Navy leadership and civilian workforce. We must maintain, modernize and sustain @USNavy shipbuilding. https://t.co/BFmSwdXh1U
