Join Hudson Institute for an expert panel discussion on the critical issues threatening American naval superiority.

China will likely launch its third aircraft carrier later this year, and its sister ship is not far behind. The Chinese Navy now has more ships than the U.S. Navy and is continuing to widen the numerical gap. Russia is testing hypersonic missiles and other adversaries are investing in strengthening their naval power. What is the U.S. doing in response? What should the U.S. do in response? Join Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Seth Cropsey and U.S. Representatives Joe Courtney and Rob Wittman for a discussion of this timely topic.
