 The Surface Navy Association, or SNA, finished its 27th annual symposium in Crystal City, Virginia, January 15. This symposium's theme this year was Surface Warfare, Distributed Lethality, Going on the Offensive. Director, Surface Warfare, Rear Admiral Peter Fanta, spoke during the symposium, defining distributed lethality and how budget affects it. Distributed lethality to a couple of your questions is taking the budget that we have and making everything out there that floats more lethal, making the trades that we need to make and making the Surface Navy of the next 10 years or 20 years the most lethal we can.
