"Hegseth is 1000% correct here the Navys Constellation-class frigate program is the perfect example of the Pentagon not knowing what it wants and trying to put too much into a platform resulting in its complete failure. However this does not excuse certain defense contractors near refusal to scale up production and doing overall shoddy work just look at the ongoing shortage of missile interceptors for both the Army and Navy. NEW: Hegseth tells me the real reason why there are massive production delays in the defense industry: A lot of the hang up has been us. The way we do business weve been"
