Republicans Fault Navy Bill In Minority Report
In a minority report to the House Naval Committee Republicans oppose the $241 million naval bill as too limited. They urge two dreadnoughts and six light cruisers, more submarines, aircraft funding, a national defense council, and multiple work shifts to speed production. They argue the bill ignores naval recommendations and risks countering the nation’s defense needs.
