Ships

The operation was announced weeks after Russian aircraft were spotted flying near Alaska.

Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly said the hospital ship Comfort could leave for New York on Friday or Saturday.

More than 1,000 Navy personnel are gearing up to treat their fellow Americans aboard a floating hospital.

There have been at least four novel coronavirus cases on three Navy ships.

Chronically under-resourced U.S. Southern Command will finally be getting more ships.

It's not clear what caused the aircraft to go down.

On Friday, Modly said basing the plans on a 10-year view of future threats is more realistic.

The Navy's new force structure assessment won't include new high-tech unmanned vessels the service has been testing.

Gen. Tod Wolters credits the pause to a recent "deconfliction dialogue."

Modly spoke of the possibility that the Navy may need more than the 355-ship fleet at a U.S. Naval Institute defense forum.
