Navigating the Future of Naval Strategy and Budgeting

Eric Labs is the Congressional Budget Office Analyst for Naval Forces and Weapons. I want to hear about the challenges coming from China and how that will impact what kind of Navy that we need. The shipbuilding process needs an overhaul. I plan on asking Eric if we should buy our warships from the South Koreans and Japanese or should we limit purchases to American suppliers even if it costs a lot more?
