Trump nominates new SECNAV

President Donald Trump nominated financier and former Army Reserve officer Philip Bilden Jan. 25 to be the next Secretary of the Navy, saying his business experience would aid him in rebuilding the naval fleet from "its lowest point … in decades." Bilden has been widely rumored in recent days as Trump's pick for the job, a surprise to many who expected former congressman J. Randy Forbes to receive the nomination. (Source: Military.com 01/25/17)
