When introducing Galinis and Selby, retired Navy Capt. Richard White, the TSS 2019 committee chair, said Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer had requested that conference attendees not ask questions about aircraft carriers. No reason was offered for the request.
When asked by USNI News to clarify what instructions Spencer may have given Navy personnel and conference organizers, Navy spokesmen from the secretary’s and assistant secretary’s offices said they were unaware of any direction not to discuss aircraft carriers at the conference.
During his keynote address highlighting recent advances naval ship design, Galinis merely said, “the one new design over the last couple of years is obviously the Ford-class carrier, but we’re not going to talk a lot about that over the next couple of days.”
