For 70 years, the world’s oceans have been a global commons protected by America’s dominance of the high seas. However, since the end of World War II, the active US Navy fleet has shrunk from nearly 1,000 ships to fewer than 300. China and Russia are eager to fill this dangerous vacuum.
Please join retired Navy Captain Dr. Jerry Hendrix and Hudson Senior Fellow Timothy Walton for a conversation about rebuilding American naval dominance. Hudson Media Fellow Jeremy Hunt will moderate the event.
