U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is asking Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer to expand the review announced in the wake of two deadly collisions to include all ships, including those stationed at Naval Station Mayport near Jacksonville.
The full text of Rubio’s letter is below:
Dear Secretary Spencer:
First, I want to express my sincere condolences to the families of the 17 sailors who recently lost their lives while aboard the USS Fitzgerald and USS John S. McCain. They served our country honorably and our nation mourns with their families.
I commend the decision to institute an operational pause and review to ensure safe and effective environments for our sailors. While those who choose to serve in harm’s way are aware of the inherent risks of performing their duties, as you know, recent collisions involving U.S. Navy warships have called into question the current state of readiness of not only our ships but also their crews. I am increasingly concerned that these incidents could have been avoided.
Florida is home to a significant number of military personnel and Naval Station Mayport, the second largest naval port on the East Coast. The safety of our sailors is of vital importance to me, and I request that you expand the scope of your evaluation so that it includes the ships such as those homeported at Naval Station Mayport.
Understanding the portion the fleet most affected by this conundrum is our forward-deployed naval forces, we must not lose sight of keeping the rest of the force safe. As you continue your investigative efforts regarding the recent U.S. Navy incidents at sea, I request that you:
Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to working with you on these matters.
Sincerely,
