Cable Security Fleet Expansion Act

This bill changes federal law on the Cable Security Fleet, a group of privately owned cable ships the government pays to keep available. It would raise the number of ships in the fleet from two to at least six. It would change the yearly payment to each ship from exactly $5,000,000 to up to $7,000,000. It would also authorize $56,000,000 per year for the program for fiscal years 2027 through 2040, replacing the current $10,000,000 per year for 2021 through 2035.
