Young leaves staunch record of cost cutting as Etter is named

Article Abstract:

A changing of the guard will see John Young handing over his responsibilities as assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition to Delores Etter of the US Naval Academy. Young was the Navy's preeminent policymaker and a committed trimmer of costs and Etter will have to continue his work of acquiring the necessary equipment for the Navy and Marine Corps at a time of increasingly tight budgets.
