What role, if any, is there for civilian or industrial vessels, fisheries or anyone else in this strategy? I know it is in draft form and I appreciate Dr. Stanley coming into the committee so early in her Department's work on such a sensitive issue. Where does she see the role of non-Defence Forces fleets in our security strategy?
