Congress finds that Congress appropriated funds for twelve F/A–18 Super Hornet platforms in fiscal year 2022 and eight F/A–18 Super Hornet platforms in fiscal year 2023, but the Navy has yet to enter into any contracts for the procurement of such platforms. It is the sense of the Senate that— the Secretary of the Navy and the contractor team should expeditiously enter into contractual agreements to procure the twenty F/A–18 Super Hornet platforms for which funds have been appropriated; and the Senate urges the Secretary of the Navy and the contractor team to comply with congressional intent and applicable law with appropriate expediency to bolster the Navy’s fleet of strike fighter aircraft and avoid further disruption to the defense industrial base.
