Why is the Navy Allowed a Special Extra Fund Beyond its Budget to Build Submarines?


The Navy has decided the special fund created just to launch new subs now can be used to build new aircraft carriers, too. The Navy is already spending more money every year through its regular budget of $130 billion than either China or Russia does on their entire armed forces, according to POGO’s Jacob Marx. But the Navy wants to pay for its 12 new SSBN(X) ballistic missile subs outside regular funding channels.
