Watch: America’s maritime leaders discuss U.S. naval forces in the Asia-Pacific region (Fred Dews, Brookings)

Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson (l) and Commandant of the Marine Corps General Robert Neller discuss maritime strategy at a Brookings event, February 26, 2016 (Paul Morigi)

“We’ve always been a Pacific power,” said Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus during a Brookings event last week. “The U.S. Navy has been a Pacific force for seventy years. In fact you could make a great argument that Asia is doing as well economically as it is because of the U.S. Navy, because we kept the sea lanes open for everybody for seven decades now.”
