navy and to the nation. this morning, we face huge challenges with the need to increase the technological edge, critical to the success. this has been made difficult due to sequestration. all of the military departments have been forced to make trade-offs. now, the threat of sequestration continues to loom. if congress does not act to and sequestration, i believe our long-term interest will be threatened. last year, the navy was facing problems, reduced hours, and canceled the appointments. increased and from -- emphasis on this budget will reduce some serious problems, but will reduce in a series shortfall on any future threats. i'm interested in hearing the witnesses views on the increase of this views due to the shortfall. the navy is facing shortfalls they have already been offering for two years now with fewer than the required 11 aircraft carriers. during the next decade, as a priority, the navy will need to buy a first-class submarine. a very costly venture. i'm interested in hearing how the navy is o

of the navy reserves. so happy anniversary. >> happy anniversary. >> we're unable to function without our navy reserve today. they have gone from folks that were there for a strategic force in case of the big war to now they are part of our total force. they do our logistics. all of our logistics. a lot of our medical. they are in cyber in a huge way. as we go to the unmanned and the remote areas they are or operators in waits. and a lot of them fully in that regard. they do our river force. the sub meern t ships out and around the world. and they co-building partnership capacity. there are other areas they are working their way in into. very effective force woven into the fiber of who we are today. >> thank you. >> senator thanks. our ability to meet the kbant commander requirements on a day to day basis and in stons spo response a major con extension is inextricably linked todd marine reserve. when we look at requirements over the next couple years we have a generation plan that fully integrates reserves

an article recently about the future navy the benchmark of 2020. we won't have all we need to defeat and deny. >> it is -- is it affecting the retention? >> it is. the families are angry with sequestration in general and the threat again. we have pilots as a key part of our ability to project power, and elsewhere. >> and the deployments are longer, is that correct? >> the biggest significance of the time between deployments. most of our units and infantry battalions are fighting squadrons are deploying. what that means is deploying for several months and our home. that continues almost ad infinitum. >> reenlistment. >> it will be over time. we have not seen the impact. he does have an impact on two things, training across the range of military operations and an impact on the amount of time marines are able to spend with their families. >> the situation crossed over with the aircraft carriers, i understand the follow-on 78 and 79 it will be around $12 billion each. >> i hope given new technologies in drones and the other aspects of warfare that we w

he had been commanding parts of the navy and overseeing the navy for decades. the navy was a passion for him even though his own experience was serving in the army. and he warned the government before the boston tea party they should mobilize the navy completely, because the moment the revolution broke out in america, france would soon intervene. instead, the government actually cut the budget for the navy in 1774. in what proved a futile idea to try to dissuade france that the british would defeat the patriots in america and then go on to wage war against the french in the caribbean. only part of it was mobilized, and that meant essentially they were fighting and they would not be fully mobilized in till 1778. as sandwich had warned, once the naval mobilized, it took a lot of time before they became fully mobile. it was a lot of ships. captains, commanders on half pay. it took a lot of time to start renovating the ships. which really did not occur for some months after yorktown. those are the 10 personalities that appear in the book, they have often been held

officially, the confederate navy has her on the list, official navy register as the next ship to be officially commissioned. however, the war is winding down and the confederacy is collapsing. there is no crude for the jackson available yet. during the battle of columbus, she sat at the navy yard. the navy guys never could come aboard and get her steam up. there wasn't enough men available to do this. it sat there during the battle and did nothing. it's a nice showpiece, so to speak. the next morning on the 17th wilson's men came into the navy yard and they started burning everything. they can't leave a viable weapon like this behind them, so they stuff flammables all over the ship and they set it on fire and they cast it loose into the river. for two weeks, this vessel is slowly floating downstream the chattahoochee and burning. there is a debris field between here and the final wreck sites. i finally caught -- it finally got caught in the bend of the river, and she sank. the water finally put out the fires, and we have what is left of her now. her length is 225 feet long and she's 57 feet wi

navy and able to serve the navy. can you talk to me about the strength of the civilian workforce, how do you see recruitment going forward? and what are the challenges we face there and any concerns you may have? >> thank you, senator. in terms of the public shipyards like portsmouth, if you want to see the effects of sequestration, you don't have to look any further than that. there was a hiring freeze in place because of the sequestration. so as people left they could not be replaced. there was a furlough. that some of them were exempt from but not all. there was the government shut down when they couldn't work. and because of all those things we've got a backlog in those public shipyards. they do great work but they have to have enough of those artisans, enough of those people with the specific skills, to do it. and again, that is a great tangible example of not only the effects immediately of sequestration but how it stretches out. because it will take us until about 2018 as the cno said to recover from that. the

nation, to the navy and to the marine corps. thank you. >> mr. secretary? >> thank you mr. chairman. chairman mccain, ranking member reed members of this committee thank you for this opportunity to discuss the department of the navy with chief of naval operations john green ert, joe dunford, i have the great privilege of representing the sailors and marines who serve our nation around the world the civilians who support them and all of their families. as the chairman and center reed pointed out, this is admiral green ert's last posture testimony before this committee. he's been a steady hand at the helm of the navy through the past four years of international instability and budget turbulence. every day his judgment and advice is good counsel it's been arn to serve with him and he will leave a lasting legacy. today our security interests face an increasing array of threats and demands while our budget situation, as you so clearly pointed out, mr. chairman, grows more challenging. but it's clear that the navy and marine corps tea

the uniforms and the civilians in the department of the navy have not grown. in fact from 14 to 16 we had a difference of 10 civilians. we are not growing. in fact the marines are shrinking. the navy is staying steady in the staffs are staying steady or going down. we are doing a 20% reduction in headquarters staff. but again it's what we call the for the state. the department of defense agencies, things like the defense finance and accounting service, things like the defense logistics agency and their contractors have just grown exponentially. so that's where the growth is coming. i was paid just for the department of the navy, it's not in the department. >> thank you. >> thank you and secretary mabus maybe we will have time to get back to that point but let me go ahead with my plan questions. admiral greenert we sort of decided on this rebalanced asia before the latest provocations from russia, before i says to took over so much territory. if sequestration returns in october what sort of gap will these cuts create between americans asian rebalanced strategy

and so for the first few i months through the middle of 1861 through early 1862 the federal navy the union navy was buying up every ship it could find not just building lots of new warships, but purchasing every civilian ship they could put a gun on and using it on the blockade. and the thinking was well, we don't need to blockade the coast, we just need lots of ships. we don't need lots of warships because they're not going to be going into combat a lot. and that's probably right. so the union navy expanded during the course of the war from maybe 40 or 50 ships on active service to, i think, over 600. and the vast majority of those were on the blockade around southern ports. the blockade became much more effective as the war went on because, simply because the navy, the union navy expanded so much at the very beginning of the war. the first ship appeared on the blockade off of galveston was the uss south carolina appeared off galveston in july of 1861 and it was just one ship. to blockade not just galveston but the entire texas coast. but, of course more came after that and it expan

to the navy in the outcome of this war. clinton knew new york. his father had been governor of new york. his father had been an admiral. his uncle had bid in admiral. he understood the role of the sea. and he told them at home, he wants the government that the moment a superior french fleet arrives on the coast of america, any detachment to the british army could be surrounded. which was exactly what happened. the british could have been defeated before your town. you had the superior french fleet off the coast of america. the government was supposed to guarantee it would always be a superior british fleet off the coast, and this was essential for the success of british arms in america. lord cornwallis -- lord cornwallis was his junior, which often gets forgotten. at the home government increasingly communicated directly with cornwallis. he became essentially his own commander. cornwallis after clinton had taken charleston which was a heights, taking the largest city in the south. cornwallis won it to reclaim the south. of

the union navy at the beginning of the war was i don't know 40 or 50 vessels at most. it was very small. it had to expand tremendously. so through the middle of 1861 through early 1861 the federal navy was buying up every ship it could find. not just building lots of new war ships but purchasing every civilian ship they could put a gun on and using it on the block. and the thinking was we don't need to block the coast. we just need lots of ships. not lots of war ships because they are not going to go into combat a lot and that is probably right. so the union navy expanded during the course of the war from maybe 40 or 50 ships on active service to i think, over 600. and the vast majority were on the block aid around southern ports. the block aid became much more effective as the war went on because the union navy expanded so much at the very beginning of the war. the first ship appeared was a uss south korea -- south carolina -- and it was just one ship. it blocked galveston and the entire coast. more came after that and it expanded. by 1864 there were a dozen union war

he also loved early on the navy. i mentioning some about conservation and hunting, but the navy was his great love. he writes in 1882, amazing stories he's writing about -- it was taught at the naval academy forever and the naval war college, and it's still a classic. he's writing this as a young man, this two-volume thing on the war of 1812, and if you read that, you will see how much he loves the way america one-upped the british. a kind of feeling of american exceptionalism is exuding him as a young man. he defines himself not just as a darwinian but also as a mahogany and, believing that great power countries in the world realpolitik, countries that mattered, japan and britain, in particular, new how to take care of their shorelines, their homeland security. roosevelt gets from reading mahan's, we need to have a navy on both coasts. thus, you get to the panama canal and his focus on building that shortcut. you don't have to have the navy go all the way down through south america. you have that shortcut. as i spea

at the outset, the british royal navy was far more sophisticated than the american navy. we will hear about the tools that sailors on both sides of the conflict used to dominate the sea. the octagon house in washington, d.c., where the treaty of dad was signed 200 years ago hosted this event. it is about 25 minutes. >> welcome hearing i am kyle dalton, the administrator. i am also the author of a blog. today, i am going to be talking about the united states navy, the war of 1812 and navigation. all three of these topics intersect at the octagon house. the eldest son of the owners of the house, john taylor iv, was enlisted in the navy in 1890 as a midshipman. it was his responsibility to learn the trade of sailors and officers, to learn how to command ships, and how to work them. the united states navy was surprisingly effective in the war of 1812. i say surprisingly because people did not really expected. thomas jefferson aimlessly said that capturing canada would be a mere matter of marching. he also thought very little of our navy. we could not stand up against the migh
