Navy Secretary John Phelan was in attendance at the Army-Navy game at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on Saturday. He was cheering on the Midshipmen in their annual gridiron rivalry game against the Army Black Knights. It was the 126th meeting between the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, and the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. Navy won this year’s contest, 17-16.
Phelan was interviewed by Westwood One’s Tina Cervasio on the radio broadcast of the game. In addition to expressing his support for the Navy Midshipmen, who were trailing at the time, he discussed some of the Navy’s initiatives under his watch, touting the department’s commitment to shipbuilding. He said the president wanted him to focus on getting “hulls in the water.”
