00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:01,850
mm hmm . Mhm . 

2
00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:10,130
Right in today's world , we face 

3
00:00:10,130 --> 00:00:12,280
potential adversaries that strive to 

4
00:00:12,290 --> 00:00:14,310
undermine the current rules based 

5
00:00:14,420 --> 00:00:16,920
international order . Our leadership 

6
00:00:16,930 --> 00:00:18,763
recognizes the emergence of this 

7
00:00:18,763 --> 00:00:20,874
competition and the need for the navy 

8
00:00:20,874 --> 00:00:24,080
to be ready to compete deter and win in 

9
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:26,024
order to defend american interests 

10
00:00:26,024 --> 00:00:27,970
along with those of our allies and 

11
00:00:27,970 --> 00:00:30,630
partners . The Surface force is ready 

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,160
to respond . We have more ready ships 

13
00:00:33,170 --> 00:00:35,580
available for tasks . Our ships are 

14
00:00:35,580 --> 00:00:38,180
more lethal and better networked . Our 

15
00:00:38,180 --> 00:00:40,236
crews are manned and trained for the 

16
00:00:40,236 --> 00:00:42,310
missions they face and our forces 

17
00:00:42,310 --> 00:00:44,900
maintained modernized and prepared to 

18
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:47,150
meet the demands of our navy facing 

19
00:00:47,150 --> 00:00:50,140
determined adversaries . Our results 

20
00:00:50,140 --> 00:00:52,362
have been encouraging and our pride and 

21
00:00:52,362 --> 00:00:54,720
the force remains high but there is 

22
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,960
more work to be done and the magnitude 

23
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,293
of the challenge we face is substantial . 

24
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,618
We must think more deeply about 

25
00:01:01,618 --> 00:01:03,800
concepts of operation , fourth 

26
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,950
generation force , posture , networking , 

27
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,810
kill chains , sustainment and 

28
00:01:09,820 --> 00:01:11,931
integration of future force platforms 

29
00:01:11,931 --> 00:01:13,987
and capabilities . We must carefully 

30
00:01:13,987 --> 00:01:16,640
maintain a lethal network postured 

31
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,830
surface force that is poised to pivot 

32
00:01:18,830 --> 00:01:21,260
to crisis and conflict when required 

33
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,140
surface warfare . The competitive edge 

34
00:01:24,150 --> 00:01:26,330
explains the need for coherence and 

35
00:01:26,330 --> 00:01:28,330
vision . As we confront the world . 

36
00:01:28,330 --> 00:01:30,490
Growing more dangerous . The surface 

37
00:01:30,490 --> 00:01:32,890
force will pursue five lines of effort 

38
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:35,950
to deter fight and win more effectively . 

39
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,862
We are responding to the realities of a 

40
00:01:38,862 --> 00:01:40,862
modern security environment and our 

41
00:01:40,862 --> 00:01:42,862
efforts are critical in maintaining 

42
00:01:42,862 --> 00:01:44,640
freedom of the seas , deterring 

43
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,910
aggression and winning wars . The time 

44
00:01:46,910 --> 00:01:49,460
to prepare is now . Yeah
