The House Armed Services Committee is investigating how this occurred. The safety of our sailors is our top concern, and we need to immediately understand any risks associated with the faulty work. The Department of Defense needs to immediately provide our committee with answers and a plan for how they will protect U.S. Navy vessels against tampering. Absolute transparency with Congress is essential. These vessels are critical to U.S. defense in the Indo-Pacific – we must ensure that these vessels are protected against any bad actors seeking to put U.S. national security or our service members at risk.”	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-07T21:43:57Z
