Budget stall is really budget cut for Navy

The continuing resolution translates into a $5.7 billion cut to the Navy.

The Navy is warning of looming cuts to ship construction and shipyard repairs, Defense News reports.

Service leaders say it’s because Congress still hasn’t passed a budget for this fiscal year — even as it takes up work on next year’s spending plan.

Defense News reports the continuing resolution amounts to a $5.7 billion cut for the Navy.

Without a permanent budget, the Navy has been forced to make spending decisions on a month-to-month basis.
