The Navy Chief supports NATO's larger role

According to Bloomberg, Adm. Daryl Caudle, the Chief Combat Officer of the Navy, said that the NATO naval alliance remained strong, with the United States shifting more responsibilities to its allies while focusing on the capabilities that only the United States Navy could provide. He noted that the Navy was accelerating the development of an autonomous system that was prepared to cope with growing competition in the Arctic and made the protection of global sea lanes a key national security priority for the United States。
