“Yesterday I received a briefing from the National Academies Naval Studies Board called A Review of U.S. Navy Cyber Defense Capabilities: It’s More Than the Networks! I endorse this independent study’s thoughts, concepts, and significance. . . . I recommend you [Navy Admirals and Senior Executives] take the brief, absorb its findings, and help drive the culture shift that it calls for in our Navy.”

“Please accept my sincere appreciation for your outstanding efforts on the report National Security Implications of Climate Change for U.S. Naval Forces. The exceptional work of the Naval Studies Board will be invaluable in shaping our plans and strategy as we adapt to the broad effects that climate change will have on naval services in the coming decades. The findings and recommendations in this report are especially insightful.”
