The commission does not directly address what I, and others, think is key: a revitalization of our surface warfare capabilities. How dumb is our Navy's leadership? So dumb they wasted critical years and billions of dollars on the Zumwalt class destroyers. What did they do? Ask for more Arleigh Burke destroyers (11 are being built). Granted, these will be very modern versions of the venerable ships, but the entire surface navy needs updating with both quality and quantity.
I read your comment. Agree, in as much as a non-SWO can agree from the cheap seats. Then… I read your profile and reached for a Marine Corps tumbler and some whiskey from the highlands… I have yet to find a quiet place, but I am still searching.

Advocating for a new world wide arms race is Interesting but not convincing......
Garry, I don't think the commission advocates for an arms race. What is it that you need convincing on?
The report won't download for me.
John, I just used this link. It should work: https://www.armed-services.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/nds_commission_final_report.pdf
