Ronald Reagan proved that peace is secured through power. This week, @realDonaldTrump made it clear: we will build a Golden Fleet. We will invest smartly in the cornerstones of American seapower—carriers, destroyers, amphibs, and submarines but we also need new ships. A new

.@SecArmy, I brought you tissues, a pacifier and diapers. Unfortunately you will need them Saturday, not for your kids, for yourself! GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!

Prototype to production in under 12 months. The @Saronic OTA proves how we’ll build a hybrid manned–unmanned Fleet: open competition, real contracts, real hardware for Sailors and Marines not slides. This is now the standard.

A day that lives in infamy. December 7, 1941, changed America forever. We honor the 2,403 fallen at Pearl Harbor and the Sailors and Marines who refused to yield; the grit that forged a Fleet that still stands watch, ready and relentless.

The way we fund defense programs is broken. A decade to deliver capability is the equivalent of fielding a 2015 iPhone today, already obsolete. Warfighters deserve today’s tech, not yesterday’s timelines.

Any change order comes through me. We are going to take our warfighters’ requirements, translate them into stable, producible designs, and stick with them once they’re set. If anyone wants to tinker with them, I’ve reserved Fridays at 5 PM in my office for change order

I brought in VADM Seiko Okano to lead the Department of the Navy’s Rapid Capabilities Office with a clear mandate: the warfighter is the decision-maker not Pentagon bureaucracy. We are iterating faster, testing in the field, getting real feedback, and investing in game changing

Kicking off @ReaganDefense with @DavidTrulio at the @RonaldReagan Library. The perfect place to highlight a simple truth: President Reagan rebuilt American seapower, and President Trump is doing it again.

We are fundamentally reshaping how the Navy builds and fields its Fleet. Today, I’m taking the second major step in that effort: selecting the design for our Medium Landing Ship, an operationally driven, fiscally disciplined choice that puts capability in the Fleet on a

U.S. Marines with @22nd_MEU disembark the San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship USS San Antonio (LPD 17), Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group, to conduct 11-Meter Naval Special Warfare boat operations while in the Caribbean Sea. U.S. military forces are deployed to the

Thank you for the highlight, @JesseBWatters. Our naval forces stand watch around the world to keep our homeland secure and protect America's safety.

It was great sitting down with @LaraLeaTrump to talk about how our @USNavy-@USMC team turns steel, training, and grit into a maritime edge no rival can match. ICYMI: Watch it on @MyViewFNC

Thanksgiving is a special holiday for our nation. I hope our Sailors and Marines find the time today to gather with loved ones or those in your units, crew, or the watch floor. Freedom is not free. It is secured and sustained by men and women like you who are willing to stand

From day one I made it clear: I won’t spend a dollar if it doesn’t strengthen readiness or our ability to win. To keep that promise, we’re reshaping how we build and field the Fleet—working with industry to deliver warfighting advantage, beginning with a strategic shift away

The U.S. Navy just welcomed a powerful new asset! ⚓  We're excited to announce the delivery of the future USS Massachusetts (SSN 798), the 25th Virginia-class submarine, from HII's Newport News Shipbuilding division on Nov. 21.  With advanced stealth, surveillance, and special
