SSP 01:11.250 --> 01:13.440 has accepted the challenge to deliver 01:13.440 --> 01:15.769 the world's most advanced strategic 01:15.769 --> 01:18.250 weapons systems , enabling the men and 01:18.250 --> 01:20.330 women of our navy to deliver peace 01:20.330 --> 01:23.989 through power 24 hours a day , 7 days a 01:23.989 --> 01:27.250 week , 365 days a year . 01:27.870 --> 01:30.037 Previous generations gave their all to 01:30.037 --> 01:31.981 this program , and thanks to their 01:31.981 --> 01:34.092 legacy , we live in a world free from 01:34.092 --> 01:37.349 nuclear war . 70 years later , we honor 01:37.349 --> 01:39.750 them by continuing to deter strategic 01:39.750 --> 01:42.230 attack and safeguard the future of our 01:42.230 --> 01:45.519 nation for all Americans . Every day 01:45.519 --> 01:47.741 that you show up and do your job with a 01:47.741 --> 01:50.610 warrior mindset is another day that the 01:50.610 --> 01:52.930 US Navy remains our nation's most 01:52.930 --> 01:56.250 effective protector . Today , each of 01:56.250 --> 01:58.306 you contributes to that vital work . 01:58.809 --> 02:01.031 Whether you're in uniform , part of our 02:01.031 --> 02:03.190 civilian workforce , or an industry 02:03.190 --> 02:06.410 partner , you are held to the highest 02:06.410 --> 02:09.348 standard of success . Whether you're 02:09.348 --> 02:12.108 just starting out or have had decades 02:12.108 --> 02:14.149 of experience as a subject matter 02:14.149 --> 02:17.550 expert . You are part of a team that is 02:17.550 --> 02:20.160 innovating every day to maintain the 02:20.160 --> 02:23.910 reliability , precision , and security 02:23.910 --> 02:27.869 of our strategic deterrent . You work 02:27.869 --> 02:30.559 with advanced technologies and continue 02:30.559 --> 02:32.729 to adapt to meet ever evolving 02:32.729 --> 02:35.470 challenges . Your contribution to the 02:35.470 --> 02:39.210 mission is critical . While what you do 02:39.210 --> 02:42.300 is complex , we can never forget that 02:42.300 --> 02:45.720 we have a clear and unshakable purpose 02:46.009 --> 02:48.940 to protect our nation and our allies by 02:48.940 --> 02:51.169 ensuring that strategic deterrence 02:51.169 --> 02:54.759 holds in today's complex global climate 02:55.050 --> 02:57.250 where risks are dynamic and strategic 02:57.250 --> 02:59.199 competitors continue to challenge 02:59.589 --> 03:03.289 rules-based international order , SSP's 03:03.289 --> 03:05.929 role remains more critical than ever . 03:06.979 --> 03:09.201 Though our program's history has proven 03:09.201 --> 03:11.570 us to be one of the Navy's biggest 03:11.570 --> 03:13.809 success stories , the future requires 03:13.809 --> 03:16.089 us to have just as much dedication , 03:16.490 --> 03:19.169 fortitude , and creativity as our 03:19.169 --> 03:21.729 successful predecessors . Today's world 03:21.729 --> 03:23.970 is almost unrecognizable from that of 03:23.970 --> 03:27.139 the 1950s , but the need for sea-based 03:27.139 --> 03:29.679 strategic deterrence remains a pillar 03:29.679 --> 03:33.029 of our national defense strategy . As 03:33.029 --> 03:36.589 the world shifts , SSP is surpassing 03:36.589 --> 03:38.660 our strategic competitors with 03:38.660 --> 03:41.070 solutions that were unimaginable even a 03:41.070 --> 03:44.110 few years ago , from hypersonics to 03:44.110 --> 03:46.339 nuclear weapons security . From 03:46.339 --> 03:48.172 advanced fleet ballistic missile 03:48.172 --> 03:50.589 systems to nuclear sea launched cruise 03:50.589 --> 03:52.910 missiles from growing the workforce of 03:52.910 --> 03:55.740 the future to refining our acquisition 03:55.740 --> 03:59.270 process , SSP is sustaining the legacy 03:59.270 --> 04:02.050 of our founders . We are building on 04:02.050 --> 04:04.550 their achievements and creating a new 04:04.550 --> 04:07.429 future of deterrence . The future is 04:07.429 --> 04:09.899 coming at us fast . We need you to lean 04:09.899 --> 04:12.850 in , work with urgency , and remember 04:12.850 --> 04:15.020 in this mission . There may be 04:15.020 --> 04:16.631 challenges as we develop new 04:16.631 --> 04:19.140 capabilities , but failure is not an 04:19.140 --> 04:21.540 option . There will be tests for all of 04:21.540 --> 04:24.130 us . They will come hand in hand with 04:24.130 --> 04:26.239 advancements and breakthroughs that 04:26.239 --> 04:29.410 lift our navy and our nation to heights 04:29.410 --> 04:33.369 never before seen . We serve the finest 04:33.369 --> 04:35.690 fighting force in the world , and we 04:35.690 --> 04:37.801 will continue to ensure that from the 04:37.801 --> 04:41.290 sea , peace is secured .

We build a 04:58.410 --> 05:00.709 safer world , making our successes 05:00.709 --> 05:03.690 outlast us so the next generation can 05:03.690 --> 05:06.750 pick up the mantle of peace .
