WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump stunned the Pentagon and the broader defense world by nominating Fox News host Pete Hegseth to serve as his defense secretary, tapping someone largely inexperienced and untested on the global stage to take over the world's largest and most powerful military. The news was met with bewilderment and worry among many in Washington as Trump passed on a number of established national security heavy-hitters and chose an Army National Guard officer well known in conservative circles as a co-host of Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends Weekend.”

The USS Edsall, an American warship known for its crew's courageous last stand against Japanese forces during World War II, has been found. The U.S. Navy announced the discovery on Monday. The 314-foot destroyer was found by an Australian survey ship last year, deep in waters south of Australia's Christmas Island. But it wasn't positively identified as the Edsall until last week.

The US Navy defeated a complex attack launched by the Houthis on Monday that saw the rebels fire several missiles and drones at two American warships off the coast of Yemen, a Pentagon spokesperson said on Tuesday. The destroyers USS Stockdale and USS Spruance came under fire as they were transiting the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a strategic maritime chokepoint between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) took action against Navy Federal Credit Union for charging illegal overdraft fees. From 2017 to 2022, Navy Federal charged customers surprise overdraft fees on certain ATM withdrawals and debit card purchases, even when their accounts showed sufficient funds at the time of the transactions. The CFPB is ordering Navy Federal to refund more than $80 million to consumers, stop charging illegal overdraft fees, and pay a $15 million civil penalty to the CFPB’s victims relief fund. This is the largest amount the CFPB has ever obtained from a credit union for illegal activity.

This first iteration of the Nuclear Enlisted TMBPP is a Pilot Program for Fiscal Year 2025. The Nuclear Enlisted TMBPP is directly aligned with the Navy's responsibility of making fiscally disciplined investments focused on enabling the enduring tenets of "warfighting first," "operate forward" and "be ready" through the development of joint warfighters, technical experts, and strategic leaders, allowing Sailors to develop skills and knowledge aligned to the highest priorities in maritime and defense strategies. 2. Nuclear Enlisted TMBPP Overview. The Nuclear Enlisted TMBPP offers nuclear trained Sailors on their First Sea Tour (SEA-1) an opportunity to compete for the most selective programs in the Navy.

The Malaysian contractor known as “Fat Leonard,” who bribed dozens of high-ranking U.S. Navy officers in the Navy’s worst-ever corruption scandal, was sentenced Tuesday in San Diego federal court to 15 years in prison. The sentence means that Leonard Glenn Francis, 60, will spend about 8½ more years in federal prison when taking into account the credit he’ll receive from the more than six years he has already spent in custody, though likely even less if he qualifies for early release.

WASHINGTON – Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro announced on October 31 that the Department of the Navy plans to operate 12 Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) Flight I Destroyers beyond their 35-year expected service life. The decision, based upon a hull-by-hull evaluation of ship material condition, combat capability, technical feasibility and lifecycle maintenance requirements, will result in an additional 48 ship-years of cumulative ship service life in the 2028 to 2035 timeframe. The Navy has proposed DDG service life extension funding in the FY26 budget request, and will update the shipbuilding plan accordingly. “Extending these highly-capable, well-maintained destroyers will further bolster our numbers as new construction warships join the Fleet,” said Secretary Del Toro. “It also speaks to their enduring role in projecting power globally, and most recently in the Red Sea, their proven ability to defend themselves, as well as our allies, partners and friends from missile and drone attacks.” At the Secretary’s request, the Navy conducted a thorough evaluation of each DDG-51 Flight I ship (DDG 51-71) over the past ten months, and determined the 12 destroyers could and should remain operational beyond their expected service life. The final determination of each ship’s service life is based on maximizing the service life of each ship before it required another extensive and costly docking availability. The service life extensions meet the intent of Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti and the CNO’s NAVPLAN which directs the Navy to “get more ready players on the field.” “Today’s budget constrained environment requires the Navy to make prioritized investments to keep more ready players on the field,” said Adm. Franchetti. “The Navy is actively pulling the right levers to maintain and grow its Battle Force Inventory to support the United State’s global interests in peace and to win decisively in conflict.” The Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer is critical to the Navy’s mission and has proven itself most capable in contested environments, like the Red Sea.

This NAVADMIN announces the implementation of a tiered multiple for nuclear trained Sailors executing Zone B Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). Nuclear trained Sailors reenlisting in SRB Zone B who commit to return to sea following their shore tour will, receive a higher SRB multiple and higher contract limit. 2. Purpose. Maintaining a strong and talented cadre of Second Sea Tour (SEA-2) Sailors is vital to maximizing the warfighting capabilities of the nuclear fleet. This NAVADMIN creates a unique retention incentive for qualified, career-minded, nuclear trained Sailors who commit to return to sea. 3. Eligibility. Nuclear trained Sailors must meet all requirements listed in references (a) and (b) for Zone B reenlistment and the following: a. Qualified propulsion plant watch supervisor or engineering watch supervisor (currently holding the N33Z NEC) b. Reenlist in SRB Zone B for a period of six years during their First Sea Tour (SEA-1); or earliest opportunity, if transferred from SEA-1 prior to six years of service. Forward any questions regarding reenlistment timing to Nuclear Enlisted Programs (OPNAV N133D). 4. Incentive. These nuclear trained Sailors will be able to utilize a 10.5 multiple for purposes of calculating their SRB Zone B bonus in line with reference (a). Additionally, the following limits apply to these SRBs replacing those listed in reference (a): (1) $40,000 per year of additional obligated service and (2) $160,000 per contract. All other portions of reference (a) are applicable. 5. Execution. The maximum award level >$100,000 or $40,000/year of active obligated service is not yet programed into Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS). Sailors seeking to take advantage of bonuses in excess of $100,000 should submit the bonus as normal in NSIPS. Once the SRB pre-certification is approved, contact the SRB help desk at 901-874-3215 or mill_incen_pays.fct@navy.mil to recalculate the bonus for the correct amount. 6. Note. Executing a six year SRB Zone B and committing to a SEA-2 tour does not preclude Sailors from re-enlisting in the enlisted supervisor retention pay Zone 1 in line with reference (b). 7. The point of contact is the Nuclear Enlisted Community Manager, OPNAV N133D, and can be reached at (703) 604-5491/DSN 664 or via e-mail at bullnuke@navy.mil. 8. Released by Vice Admiral Richard J.
