We don\u2019t make this easy on ourselves, by design,\u201d said Vice Adm. Brendan McLane, the Naval Surface Forces commander. \u201cWe want to stretch the system across the board so that we can make systemic, long-term improvements. And this is aligned with CNO\u2019s goal to have more players on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McLane did not say how many ships currently meet the target. \u201cWe have made steady progress, but we still have a lot of way to go,\u201d he said. The top surface warfare officer provided the update during a call with reporters last week ahead of Surface Naval Association\u2019s Warriors and Warfighting 2024 waterfront symposium, which will be held this week at Naval Base San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>McLane\u2019s predecessor, retired Vice Adm. Roy Kitchener, in April 2022 had announced a goal to reach \u201cNorth Star 75\u201d by Fiscal Year 2024, which ends Sept. 30.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.usni.org\/2024\/08\/13\/swo-boss-75-warship-readiness-goal-still-a-work-in-progress\">USNI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What our blackshoe brethren fail to mention is there are ~300 deployable combat ships currently in service. At the risk of public math that is a dismal 25% mission capable force goal which Big Navy is unable to achieve. On a side note the final LCS ship, <em>USS Pierre<\/em> (LCS-38) was just launched.
