President Trump nominated acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao on September 1, 2026, after Cao assumed the role in April following John Phelan's resignation. Cao, confirmed as under secretary in October 2025 on a 52-45 Senate vote, requires a congressional waiver under a 2021 law mandating at least seven years since active-duty retirement; he left service in 2021. The White House transmitted the nomination to the Senate on September 14, 2026, alongside related Navy leadership picks. Trader focus centers on waiver prospects in both chambers and confirmation timing amid ongoing operations, shipbuilding priorities, and the Senate calendar before midterms.
