Rep. Mace's amendments to H.R. 4016 reflect smart stewardship of defense resources. Blocking premature retirement of APS-3 vessels (Sec. 8163) preserves critical sealift capacity - JB Charleston's maintenance of these ships directly supports INDOPACOM logistics. The $15M Navy R&D allocation (Sec. 8063) accelerates autonomous systems integration for next-gen ship design, mirroring the Defense Innovation Unit's priorities.

These moves align with strategic needs: maintaining XX% operational readiness for prepositioned stocks while advancing tech like the Navy's Modular Advanced Design for Large-Scale Maritime Systems. The amendments reinforce core principles - no wasted capability, focused innovation - without adding bureaucracy.

As the bill moves to Senate, maintaining this balance between legacy systems and disruptive tech will be key to addressing near-peer threats efficiently.
