Daryl Caudle, the commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command, said Jan. 11. \u201cI am not forgiving the fact that they\u2019re not delivering the ordnance we need, I\u2019m just not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll this stuff about COVID this, parts, supply chain this, I just don\u2019t really care,\u201d he continued. \u201cI need [Standard Missile]-6s delivered on time. I need more [torpedoes] delivered on time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caudle oversees the readiness-generation of all ships, submarines and aircraft on the Atlantic side of the Navy. He said the service is working internally to boost its readiness, including announcing this week the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2023\/01\/10\/navy-aims-for-75-mission-capable-surface-ships-amid-readiness-drive\/\">surface fleet would aim to have at least 75 mission-capable ships<\/a> at all times to send on missions with little notice \u2014 but this progress is being hampered by backlogs in industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy is buying two submarines a year, but industry is only delivering at a rate of 1.2 a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn five years, instead of delivering 10 fast attack submarines, I got six. Where\u2019s the other four? My force is already four submarines short,\u201d Caudle said. Ships coming out of maintenance availabilities late, both at Navy public yards and private industry yards, worsens the problem. While the Navy should have 10 of its 50 subs in deep maintenance, 19 are in or awaiting repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cImagine if I was on time, my submarine force would be nine ships larger. That is a significant number,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caudle noted that if the Navy had ready its 75 mission-capable ships, \u201ctheir magazines wouldn\u2019t all be full.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the Navy knows which missiles would make the most impact during a fight, and the Navy wants to see defense contractors prioritize these top programs, even at the expense of other production lines if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are spending large amounts of money with these companies. \u2026 When they don\u2019t deliver, that impacts the national security that we provide this country,\u201d the four-star said. \u201cIf there\u2019s areas that we need to do better \u2026 where they can go build more stable workforces, go buy more early materials, go get more certainty and buy down their risk because we\u2019re more committed to larger buys of ordnance or ships or whatever it is, we\u2019ve got to have those conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/naval\/2023\/01\/11\/to-shipbuilders-who-think-they-can-build-more-cno-says-prove-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday<\/a> told Defense News on Jan. 10 at the conference he prioritized readiness \u2014 including ordnance \u2014 in the fiscal 2023 spending request and would do so again in the FY24 plan expected out this spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe message that I\u2019m trying to send there is, not only am I trying to fill magazines with weapons, but I\u2019m trying to put U.S. production lines at their maximum level right now and to try and maintain that set of headlights in subsequent budgets, so that we continue to produce those weapons. That\u2019s one thing we\u2019ve seen in Ukraine, that the expenditure of those high-end weapons in conflict could be higher than we estimated,\u201d Gilday said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro weighed in as well, telling reporters Jan. 11 the Navy and Pentagon are offering a combination of carrots and sticks to weapons-builders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, he said, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks and her office are seeking to incentivize companies building weapons needed by the U.S. but also potentially helpful in Ukraine to increase their maximum production rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey had a set production rate before Ukraine occurred; now the U.S. government is asking them to increase their production rates,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s a desire on the part of those companies to do that in a responsible fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Del Toro too said the pandemic and supply chain challenges are no longer acceptable excuses for mission delivery dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf they\u2019re having a problem set on their side, I don\u2019t want to just hear about it at the final hour,\u201d he said. \u201cI want to hear about it as these problems develop, and if we\u2019re the cause of some of these problems, then fine, let\u2019s talk about them and let\u2019s try to fix them early on so we can deliver that on time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Del Toro said the solution can\u2019t simply be<b> \u201c<\/b>us throwing money at industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe money that we do make available for workforce development has to be carefully laid out,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe pay attention to how the money is actually being spent to ensure that it\u2019s being spent effectively, efficiently, there are metrics and data that actually support, hopefully, the results that get returned on that investment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command said industry needs to start delivering ordnance on
