We’re not buying into foreign shipyards—we’re having them invest in U.S. shipbuilding. By bringing their operations stateside, we can crank out our ships quicker and create over half a million American jobs. It’s time to breathe new life into our nation’s industrial base.

As the President Donald J. Trump noted today, defense companies have taken advantage for far too long with contracts behind schedule and over budget. It’s time to hold industry accountable, share risk, and invest back into the ecosystem that sustains our national defense.

Unlike a few U.S. Marines predecessors with, shall we say, “NJPs,” Chesty XVI is a gentleman, except to 8th Street bushes. Elite soccer dribbler, world-class slobberer, champion cuddler and ready for his D.C. United debut if this mascot gig falls through.

Fractured authority and bureaucratic hurdles delay critical capabilities. No more. The Navy’s Portfolio Acquisition Executive model establishes a single accountable boss to slash red tape. Our systems and processes must match the efficiency and intensity of our Sailors and Marines—delivering what they need to fight and win.

Leaving Vietnam as a refugee 51 years ago and returning today as the Acting Secretary of the Navy is a powerful, full-circle reminder of what is possible when blessed with freedom and opportunity. Our productive visit strengthened US-Vietnam relations and our naval partnership. Progress often starts simply: two Sailors sitting down, sharing a common bond, and working together to achieve mutual goals. What we accomplished extends beyond the pier—strengthening the trust to keep sea lanes open, defend freedom of navigation, and preserve peace through strength across the Pacific. Thanks President Donald J. Trump, Secretary Marco Rubio, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for your leadership and commitment to ensuring our U.S. Navy and U.S. Marines have what they need to maintain maritime dominance.

You may not see my scars, but they are there. I know trauma. I know pain. I also know that seeking help is a sign of strength. I did, and you can too. This Mental Health Awareness Month, I remain committed to breaking down barriers to care for our Sailors and Marines. You are always worth fighting for.

Today's graduation in Annapolis was the proud convergence of two of my greatest honors: leading the Department of the Navy and being a father. To the parents and families: thank you for raising these remarkable young men and women, and for planting the seed of service. To my son—one of our Nation’s newest Second Lieutenants in the Marine Corps—and the entire U.S. Naval Academy Class of 2026: We could not be more proud. Semper Fi and Hooyah!

We are a maritime nation, bordering on both the Atlantic and the Pacific. Our commerce depends on safe and secure sea lanes of communication. President Trump’s commission to our military is simple: to achieve Peace Through Strength. The USS Idaho joins the fleet ready to answer the call to action, in any ocean, at any time.

On my 100th day, we christened the future USS William Charette, are placing DASN Ships directly under the leadership of the Under Secretary and me for shipbuilding oversight, and launched the Shipbuilding Council. We will continue to move with focus and speed until we deliver the Golden Fleet!
