Date: January 11, 2024
Time: 1500-1630 Pacific
Location: Glasgow 109 and MS Teams
Forum: Hybrid (both In Person and Virtual)

SPEAKER: CDR Jeff Vandenengel
Moderated by: CAPT Jeffrey E. Kline, USN (Ret), Dr. Jim Wirtz, and Dr. James Russell


CDR Jeff Vandenengel, USN will cover the major themes from his recently released book Questioning the Carrier: Opportunities in Fleet Design for the United States Navy. In this book he offers an alternative to the carrier-centric fleet in the age of missile combat, and assesses the relative value of the traditional fleet and the alternative fleet mission-by-mission.

Says Admiral James Stavridis “'Questioning the Carrier' skillfully uses naval history and current events to conduct a holistic review of the aircraft carrier’s ability to lead the U.S. Navy against our nation’s adversaries.”
