NATIONAL COMMISSION ON THE FUTURE OF THE NAVY


Announcement of Public Hearing

AGENCY: National Commission on the Future of the Navy

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commissioners of the National Commission on the Future of 
the Navy (FNC), in accordance with the National Defense Authorization 
Act of 2023, will hold a public hearing to hear from Members of 
Congress and experts from government and industry to better understand 
to provide an opportunity for stakeholders to present their views. 
Those wishing to attend, present at, or submit a written statement to 
the Board prior to the public hearing must provide advance notice to 
the agency as detailed below.

DATES: The hearing is set for Wednesday, March 25, 2026 at 10 a.m. EST.

ADDRESSES: The public hearing will take place in the Russell Senate 
Building, Room 222. The hearing is open to the public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Congress established the National Commission 
on the Future of the Navy in the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense 
Authorization Act to provide an independent, bipartisan assessment of 
U.S. naval force structure, readiness, and long-term maritime 
requirements. The statute directs the Commission to conduct a 
comprehensive review of fleet size and force mix, naval aviation, 
shipbuilding capacity, personnel policies, and the force-generation 
model that sustains combat power at sea. It authorizes the Commission 
to hold public hearings, receive testimony, and obtain information from 
federal departments and agencies to support recommendations to 
Congress. This hearing is the first in support of this effort.
    The hearing is compromised of two panels. The first panel is open 
to the public and will consist of a bipartisan/bicameral group of 
Members of Congress from the House and Senate Armed Services 
Committees. The Commission will hear their expectations for the 
commission and deliverables they hope to see. The second panel will be 
a closed session. It will consist of experts from government and 
industry, and they will provide perspectives on what a future Navy 
looks like to include strategy, force structure and needs of the 
industrial base to meet such strategy and force structure.

Matthew Neumeyer,
Chief of Staff, National Commission on the Future of the Navy.
