Welcome to the CavasShips Podcast with Christopher P. Cavas and Chris Servello…a weekly podcast looking at naval and maritime events and issues of the day – in the US, across the seas and around the world. This Week…Congress has begun its annual series of Navy budget hearings, the Navy continues to grapple with suicides among the crew of the carrier USS GEORGE WASHINGTON, and CNO Gilday made some interesting comments at an appearance this week. We’ll take a closer look.

In this Week’s Squawk Chris Servello has questions about the US Navy’s basic focus in developing unmanned systems.
