What is the Golden Fleet? | Brent Sadler

About this episode

Brent Sadler discusses the concept of the 'Golden Fleet' and its implications for the U.S. Navy's readiness against threats, particularly from China.

Over the last few decades, serious concerns have arisen about the fitness of our Navy to counter America’s enemies, most importantly China. This has led the Trump Administration to announce a vision for a "Golden Fleet". Here to talk about that is Brent Sadler, former Naval Officer and a Senior Research Fellow here at Heritage. --- Have thoughts, questions, or suggestions?
