VADM Terry Benedict, USNAdmiral Padgett, thank you for that introduction. I want to thank the Submarine League for the opportunity to speak here today. I am going to continue my trend that I have done over the last six years while I have been the Director of SSP, and that is I use this as my report card to the community on the obligations and accountability that we have within SSP to ensure that we are properly placed and ready to support the Ohio Replacement Program as she enters into service. Let me start off by reporting something that is relatively new to what we have been doing in SSP and that is the role of the Navy nuclear deterrent regulator.
