In her first major speech as the chief of naval operations, Adm. Lisa Franchetti called for the Navy to get “more players on the field,” urging improvements to ship maintenance, ship construction and embracing new unmanned and advanced platforms, Breaking Defense reports.
“To be able to do the things that our nation is asking the Navy to do, we need to have more players available to do that,” Franchetti told reporters following her remarks here on Tuesday afternoon. “And that’s people players, that’s platform players. … It’s all our platforms. It’s all of our capabilities — that warfighting ecosystem that we need to put together.”
