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

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.
