Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti is fantastic. She is the first woman to be CNO and the first woman to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Franchetti displays a soft touch when caring for individual sailors and their families and a unique toughness in naval warfighting. This is the correct combination of traits necessary to address future threats to the Navy, especially as the maritime branch ponders what to do about China.

Now, Franchetti has overseen the development of a new maritime strategy to counteract Beijing’s efforts to dominate the United States in the Indo-Pacific. Dubbed by some as “Project 33,” it is a starting point for using future trends in warfare to ensure the Navy comes out on top during any conflict with the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) by 2027.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

The problem is China has thousands of ballistic, cruise and now hypersonic missiles ready to take out U.S. bases and naval assets quickly. We don't have enough missile bases or hardened bases. What do we do about that?

I see all kinds of signs that the US wants to start big wars with lots of people. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Does our plan to defeat the Chinese Navy involve running one of our oil tankers aground on a sandbar near their fleet?

The Main Project 33 Targets Are

-“Ready the force by eliminating ship, submarine, and aircraft maintenance delays

-Scale robotic and autonomous systems to integrate more platforms at speed

-Create the command centers our fleets need to win on a distributed battlefield

-Recruit and retain the force we need to get more players on the field

-Deliver a quality of service commensurate with the sacrifices of our sailors

-Train for combat as we plan to fight, in the real world and virtually

-Restore the critical infrastructure that sustains and like projects the fight from shore”

Pretty standard stuff.
