2. Provide a forum for Members of Congress to discuss shipbuilding issues which are important to their districts
3. Define the requirement of the Navy and Coast Guard-what is the number and mix of ships required?
4. Promote adequate budgets and funding of naval ships to meet warfare requirements.
5. Promote the U.S. build and manufacture of ships and their components.
6. Facilitate a dialogue between industry, Congress, and the Sea Services on the future of the domestic shipbuilding industry.
