Special Report: Surface Force Readiness Reforms
After two tragic, fatal collisions and other near misses at sea in 2017, the Navy’s mandate was clear: Make our Navy a safer and more combat-effective force that places the safety, readiness and training of our people first.

While our work is far from complete, the following stories and blogs highlight the progress made so far, as well as other areas that demand our continued focus in order to ensure success.
