House Committee Rejects $100M Reprogramming Request To Repair Miami

The House Appropriations Committee denied the Navy's request to transfer $100 million to begin funding repairs for the attack submarine Miami (SSN-755), which was badly damaged in a May 23 arson, but the panel "reluctantly" agreed to reprogram $220 million in current year funding for repairs to the vessel, according to documents obtained by InsideDefense.com.
