Against this backdrop and as the Navy grapples with new challenges – from possible maritime conflict with near-peer competitors and piracy by non-state actors to exploitative environmental practices and intense strategic competition – what must the service do to ensure the United States’ position as a leading, modern maritime power? Join us Tuesday, April 23 as Secretary Del Toro outlines his vision for bold, resilient, and adaptable U.S. maritime statecraft that effectively leverages the power of naval diplomacy to secure a safer and more prosperous world for all.
