It sounds like it, Senator. And I think, as I mentioned earlier, these contracts are something that really need to be reviewed and better understood. And I think that If confirmed, that's something I intend to do, is focus on that [reviewing and understanding contracts]. And I appreciate that, Mr. Phelan, but I want to see more than just reviewed here. Sailors need to be able to rely on their equipment, and that means being able to maintain their own equipment.
