(4) The national security of the United States is 
inextricably linked to the maintenance of global free-
dom of access for both the strategic and commercial 
interests of the United States. 
(5) To maintain that freedom of access the sea 
services of the United States, composed of the Navy,

States citizens, homeland, and interests abroad from 
direct or asymmetric attack and must be comprised 
of sufficient vessels to maintain global freedom of ac-
tion. 
(6) To achieve appropriate capabilities to ensure 
national security the Government of the United States 
must continue to recapitalize the fleets of the Navy 
and Coast Guard and must continue to conduct vital 
maintenance and repair of existing vessels to ensure 
such vessels meet service life goals.

that—

be funded and maintained to provide the broad spec-
trum of capabilities required to protect the national
