The Naval War College Foundation and Center for Maritime Strategy will be hosting the fourth annual America‘s Future Fleet Symposium. America‘s Future Fleet will bring together notable members of the think tank community, military, government, congressional staff, and industry to discuss key components driving the future of national security.  

The full symposium will be on Thursday, December 4, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Navy League of the United States National Headquarters (2300 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA, 22201). The symposium will feature expert-led panels that delve into the priorities of Admiral Daryl Caudle, the Navy’s new Chief of Naval Operations, whose operational lens focuses on three key areas: the foundry, the fleet, and the way we fight. It provides a unique platform to engage in meaningful discussions and forge partnerships with individuals at the forefront of shaping the future of naval operations and defense capabilities.

This year, we are honored that Admiral James Kilby, the Vice Chief of Naval Operations, is set to deliver the keynote on the CNO’s priorities moving into 2026: Foundry, Fleet, and Fight.
