This budget called for fewer navy ships despite growing threats from China. Since the 20th Century, the U.S. has had the largest military force and navy in the world. The Chinese navy has a larger fleet. <\/p>\n<p>The administration proposed to shrink the U.S. Navy, with a net loss for two ships. However, military experts argue that the administration should increase its number of ships. The proposal suggested decommissioning 11 vessels and building nine. The military set a previous goal to have 355 manned ships, but has currently less than 300. <\/p>\n<p>Del Toro rejected the criticism that focusing on climate changes would make the U.S. less secure. He argued that the Navy would be stronger because the U.S. could develop new technology that will allow it to create a Navy that is more cost-efficient, efficient, and climate-friendly while still maintaining its supremacy on the seas. <\/p>\n<p><b>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ABOUT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is not a trade-off between addressing climate security and our core mission of being the most capable and ready Navy-Marine Corps team,&#8221; Del Toro said. &#8220;The exact opposite is true. Embracing climate-focused technologies and adopting a climate-informed posture strengthens our capability to stand by our partners and allies.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Fox News reports that the chief naval researcher will host a conference on April 17 in Florida. It will address climate change, marine pollution, renewable energy and unmanned systems integration, and will also discuss climate change.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8220;Read More from&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense-national-security\/naval-secretary-climate-change-top-priority\">The Secretary of the Navy cites climate as a top priority despite China&#8217;s growing threat<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro said fighting climate change has been one of his biggest priorities since taking office, despite a growing naval threat from China as the country grows its fleet.
