“His track record of success speaks for itself as a true champion of American entrepreneurship and ingenuity. John’s intelligence and leadership qualities are second to none. His incredible knowledge and experience will improve the lives of the brave Americans who serve our nation. John will achieve real results for our Navy and of our country. I look forward to working with him,” Trama Phelan said.
His candidacy for the post of head of the US Navy will require Senate confirmation. The Republican Party will have a majority there next year.
