President Donald Trump’s nominee to be the next Navy secretary Thursday criticized the service for a “failure of leadership” and its many recent missteps, arguing to senators that he’s prepared to help right the ship.
“As a child of the Midwest, I was taught to be frank,” Braithwaite said in his opening statement. “It saddens me to say that the Department of the Navy is in rough waters, due to many factors, but primarily the failure of leadership.” Braithwaite, who was tapped for the post after the ouster of former Navy Secretary Richard Spencer, referenced his experience aboard the aircraft carrier USS America when it sailed alongside the battleship USS Iowa during a deadly explosion in 1989, as well as serving amid the Navy’s Tailhook sexual assault scandal in the early 1990s. He said the events shaped his outlook.
“While I recognize the challenges for all they are, I am ready,” he added. “I have been preparing my entire life for this moment.”
