 For the next few minutes we'll be operating at sea with the WASP amphibious readiness group and attached our destroyers USS Dewey being one of them. We're also adding F-35Bs Together we're called an upgunned ESG where we bring extra capability To the warfighting element of what we're doing here in theater So what is Dewey bringing to the equation that we didn't have before the the ability to strike inland targets The ability to conduct robust air defense using the aegis radar system The ability to use this gun behind me and engage targets both at sea and ashore The ability to hunt and find submarines. These are capabilities that aren't normally part of an amphibious readiness group But they are now When Dewey is at sea they bring their main battery the 300 plus sailors that are on this ship. This is our number one advantage When Dewey joins the amphibious readiness group, we will immediately become more capable We'll be able to strike targets inland. We'll be able to find submarines We'll be able to defend the force much more vibrantly and when you put F-35Bs on top of that You can see that we're going to be a much more capable force with significantly more options and that's what we're bringing to the table Dewey and this great crew is now part of the expeditionary strike group family And we have one primary goal To set the pace for the entire united states navy on what right looks like starting with safe operations at sea
