During a speech on the Senate Floor yesterday, Senator Todd Young highlighted the importance of NSWC Crane to our national security. The speech came ahead of Senate passage (89-8) of the National Defense Authorization Act which included three different provisions authored by Senator Young.
One of Young’s provisions requires the Department of Defense to seek greater cooperation between the Navy and the Air Force as it modernizes and sustains our nation’s nuclear deterrent. Crane currently provides significant support to the Navy’s strategic programs, but could provide much more support for the Air Force’s strategic programs.
Young says that’s not s not only a win for Crane…it’s a win for the Navy and the Air Force, for taxpayers, and the safety and security of every American.
