Book excerpt: The fiscal year 2013 budget addresses important readiness concerns by continuing the recent initiatives to improve the material condition of our surface ships and the continued work to improve the overall efficiency of aviation readiness. Although many of the surface ship initiatives are just beginning in 2012, we have some early indicators of improvement and readiness. It is not time to declare a victory, but I am encouraged by what we see. The fiscal year 2013 budget includes investments in both live and synthetic training, training targets, and enhanced simulators. We also continue to invest to reduce total ownership cost of our platforms and systems and to use energy more efficiently.
