“The business of the Navy is to be at sea.”

“We have an obligation to provide our men and women in uniform with the best equipment and the best training possible.”

“Cost is always a factor, but performance is the ultimate measure.”

“We must ensure that our forces have the right capabilities to meet the threats of the 21st century.”

“The Navy is transitioning to a new kind of fleet, an expeditionary fleet, a global fleet.”

“We're not going to be able to find a person who has not made a mistake.”

“The F/A-22 is the most capable fighter aircraft in the world today.”
