 The Secretary of the Navy spoke at the Senate Armed Services Committee fiscal year 2014 budget hearing April 24th. The Department's 2014 budget request is a return to a measured budget approach, one based on strategy and that protects the warfighter by advancing the priorities that I've referred to as the four P's, people, platforms, power, and partnerships. During the hearing, the Chief of Naval Operation also talked about his tenets. Our fundamental approach to meeting this responsibility remains unchanged. We organize, man, train, and equip the Navy by viewing our decisions through what I would call lens or tenets. And they are warfighting is first, we will operate forward and we need to be ready. Regardless of the size of our budget or the size of our fleet, these three tenets are the lens through which we will evaluate all of our decisions.
