Decommissioning ships that have viable service life at a faster rate than industry can build new ones is not how the Navy should grow the fleet, the vice chairwoman of the House Armed Services Committee said Monday.

Speaking at a Hudson Institute online forum, Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.) said “the math doesn’t work” for the Navy to potentially decommission any ships early.

Selected participants will attend in-residence graduate school at an accredited institution of their choice (Continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii). b. FSEP is nominally suited for the Lieutenant (LT) paygrade; however, Lieutenant Commanders are eligible. Top performing Lieutenant Junior Grade Officers may be considered if promoted to LT before reporting to their school of choice for graduate education. c. FSEP participants have up to 24 months to complete a graduate degree while in a full-time student status. Participants will be required to choose a degree from the approved areas of study list located at paragraph 4. The approved areas of study list has changed from last year due to the continuing refinement of Navy Education Requirements. Distance learning or night/weekend/part-time programs structured for the working professional are not authorized graduate programs under FSEP. d. Officers who have already received fully-funded graduate education are not eligible to participate. Graduate degrees obtained through Post 9-11 G.I. Bill, tuition assistance or the Navy College Program for Afloat College Education are not disqualifiers. Selectees will be assigned a unique additional qualification designation for tracking and career management purposes. 3. Application and Selection Process a. Community sponsors will develop and implement selection criteria and policies to identify their most talented officers with proven past performance and high potential future performance for FSEP participation. Community sponsors will determine their nominees for selection no later than 30 September and submit them to the Director for Warfighter Development (OPNAV N71) via the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Civilian Institutions (CIVINS) program office for final selection approval and selection notification. Selection notification will be released by 31 October 2023 in order for Navy Personnel Command, Graduate Education and Training Placement (PERS-440) to meet the AY24-25 fall/winter semester/quarter start dates.

Participants shall consult the list of schools that have existing Education Service Agreements (ESA) with the Navy on the NPS CIVINS website FSEP page at https://nps.edu/web/civins/fsep. In cases where the school of choice is not on the ESA listing, the selectee shall notify the NPS CIVINS office no less than 7 months prior to program start to allow sufficient time to pursue additional ESAs. Participants are responsible for researching and completing prerequisites including Graduate Record Examinations where applicable.

All degree programs shall yield a subspecialty code (SSC) upon completion; therefore, all Education Plans will be reviewed against the Educational Skill Requirement (ESR) and approved by the respective SME/PERS-451. c. For questions on whether a desired degree falls outside the specific areas of study listed above, the selectee shall submit a degree approval request to the NPS CIVINS office. Details of the degree approval process can be found at the NPS CIVINS website listed in paragraph 7. 5. Tuition Cap. For the focus study areas listed in paragraph 4, FSEP selectees will receive 100% funding for tuition related expenses. For any other degree programs, FSEP selectees will only receive a maximum of $40K/year in tuition related expenses for a total of $80K per capped participant. Selectees may use a combination of scholarships, post-9/11 G.I. Bill benefits, and personal resources to cover additional costs.
