Rebuilding America’s Maritime Strength with Senator Kelly and Congressman Waltz

September 25, 2024 • 9:00 – 9:45 am EDT

Please join the CSIS International Security Program (ISP) and the U.S. Naval Institute for a Maritime Security Dialogue event featuring Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Congressman Mike Waltz (R-FL) 

Senator Kelly and Congressman Waltz will sit down with Dr. Seth G. Jones, CSIS senior vice president and director, International Security Program, to discuss the need for America to rebuild its maritime sector to compete with rising threats in China. RADM Raymond A. Spicer, USN (Ret.), chief executive officer and publisher, U.S. Naval Institute, will offer opening remarks.  

The Maritime Security Dialogue  series brings together CSIS and the U.S. Naval Institute, two of the nation's most respected non-partisan institutions. The series highlights the unique challenges facing the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard from national level maritime policy to naval concept development and program design. Given budgetary challenges, technological opportunities, and ongoing strategic adjustments, the nature and employment of U.S. maritime forces are likely to undergo significant change over the next ten to fifteen years. The Maritime Security Dialogue provides an unmatched forum for discussion of these issues with the nation’s maritime leaders. 

This event is made possible by support from HII.
