The Biden administration's defense budget is criticized for being insufficient by lawmakers who stress the importance of acquiring two Virginia-class submarines per year for the US Navy. The FY25 #NDAA aims to boost servicemember compensation and strengthen the military to deter China's aggression. Lawmakers are actively involved in markups and discussions to ensure the Navy's undersea dominance through investments in submarines.

The @USNavy must acquire two Virginia-class submarines per year, period. The Biden administration’s defense budget is wholly insufficient, and they better get with the program. @HASCRepublicans are delivering the support our Navy needs this year. Read more in @defense_news:…
