 The Navy's Chief of Information, Rear Admiral John Kirby, took the time to explain the Navy's current fiscal challenges as a result of operating under a continuing resolution. Now that under funds the operations that we had planned to conduct in this fiscal year. Under funds it to the tune of about $4.6 billion. So we've already enacted some belt tightening measures to try to slow the rate at which we're spending the dollars that we have been allocated. Things like travel, conferences. There's a freeze on the hiring of all Navy civilians. We're gonna have to be eliminating some temporary workers throughout the fiscal year. And of course we're gonna be having to cancel and defer some maintenance on our ships and aircraft. The CR may expire in March and if Congress opts to extend it through the end of the fiscal year the Navy and Marine Corps will not have enough money to operate as normal.
