The total funding for the agency over the next four years is now projected at over $2.13 billion, with a peak of $641 million in 2028-29. This increase comes as the government emphasizes the deals role in enhancing defense for a maritime nation.

Despite these concerns, partners remain committed to making the sovereign fleet a reality. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
