READ: Fleet Growth Stymied by Navy Budget Request
The long-delayed #Navy fiscal 2022 budget request submitted to Congress May 28 reflects modest increases in several areas but overall shows no significant changes over the previous year, either in #weapons #procurement or readiness accounts.
The service is asking for eight ships, but only four are combatants – two submarines, one destroyer and one frigate – while the other four are support #ships. The President’s Budget for 2022 (PB 22) request for new ships is counteracted by the decision to inactivate 15 ships, including seven cruisers and four littoral combat ships.

One of the Pentagon’s most high-profile programs is its #Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification effort. CMMC will eventually require all 300,000-plus companies working in the defense industrial base to meet certain levels of cybersecurity to protect against threats from adversaries and continue working with the Defense Department.
However, with a new administration installed at the Pentagon, the department recently announced that it had initiated an “internal assessment” of the program.
