Support the P-8: America’s Sub Hunter

Naval threats from adversarial nations are on the rise and only one aircraft can stop them, the P-8A Poseidon. That’s why our leaders in Congress must prioritize funding for the Sub Hunter.

The Poseidon is also critical to U.S. manufacturing jobs. It supports more than $4 billion in estimated annual economic impact. It also supports over 80,000 total jobs and 300 supplier companies in 40 states. During the current economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Americans cannot afford to lose the capabilities and jobs of this critical supply chain.

The U.S. Navy isn’t fully equipped to meet and defeat these growing threats of submarine activity in the North Atlantic Ocean and off the southeast coast of the United States. That’s why American military members, manufacturers, and citizens need the Sub Hunter.

The P-8A Poseidon, also known as the “Sub Hunter,” is the only aircraft that can detect and track foreign submarines over the vast expanse of the ocean. Without this critical capability, our nation is vulnerable to attack and the Navy will have limited ability to prevent or stop it.

The Sub Hunter is also critical to U.S. manufacturing jobs. It supports more than $4 billion in estimated annual economic impact. It also supports over 80,000 total jobs and 300 supplier companies in 40 states. If Congress doesn’t prioritize the P-8A program, its supply chain, as well as the tens of thousands of jobs its supports, are at risk.

As COVID-19 continues to create uncertainty for health, defense, and the economy, it’s especially important now to support programs like the P-8 Poseidon. Take action now by contacting your representatives and urge them to keep Americans employed and defend our borders by supporting the P-8A Poseidon program.
