That sentence, in plain words

Money is set aside for the defense department. It is on top of what it already has. It is for fiscal year 2025 and can be spent through September 30, 2029.

What this is about

Much of it goes into the yards themselves. It pays for tools, steel, dry docks and training. The rest buys ships and craft.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

That sentence, in plain words

The biggest single sum is $4.6 billion. It buys a second attack submarine. That submarine comes in fiscal year 2026.

What this is about

Other sums buy warships, landing craft and oilers. Several buy craft with no crew on board. Some sail on the surface and some under it.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The appropriation itself and all thirty-six line items, grouped into two proposals: the industrial base and workforce items, and the ship, craft and unmanned vessel items.

The line items are not recorded as thirty-six separate proposals. Each is named with its figure in one of the two summaries.

The section appropriates money directly and amends no older statute, so nothing recorded here depends on a document that is not indexed. The National Defense Sealift Fund it draws on is created by another law that is not indexed here.
