The U.S. Navy needs an infusion of cash in the next two months to prevent interruptions in how it conducts military training and other operations, the service\u2019s highest ranking officer told lawmakers on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle warned members of Congress at a budget hearing for the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense about the service\u2019s impending budget crunch, amid the current rate of operations in the Middle East. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will have to start making decisions to change training, operations, certification events, those type of things we do to generate our force, in the July timeframe and their current expenditure,\u201d Caudle said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That money would have to come from a supplemental funding request, which the Trump administration has not yet submitted to Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
