Thank you:

This will include examination of options for local, hybrid and overseas build or the leasing of an existing vessel.

As the senator knows, I said last week that there were three options contained in the CEP, which is a matter of public record: an overseas build, a hybrid build and a domestic build. But no matter what the build is, the difference between us and them is the number of jobs that will be created in shipbuilding in this country; the difference between us and them is zero over there and thousands over here.
