What the document says

“Expand the U.S. Navy and develop new nuclear naval reactors”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 372

The chapter says the nuclear arsenal needs to be updated and reinvigorated to deal with threats from China and Russia, that the National Nuclear Security Administration has primary responsibility for designing new warheads and maintaining the existing arsenal, and that it also develops nuclear propulsion reactors for the Navy.

What the document actually says

“Expand the U.S. Navy and develop new nuclear naval reactors”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 372
That sentence, in plain words

Make the Navy bigger. Build new nuclear engines for its ships.

What this is about

Some Navy ships run on nuclear power. The book wants more ships. It also wants new engines designed for them.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
