Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia, should remain a critical component of the future carrier-based strike fighter capability of the Navy and receive F-35C squadrons as part of the modernization strategy of the Navy.

This non-binding House resolution expresses the House's support for maintaining F-35C fighter squadrons at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach. It urges the Navy to avoid concentrating all F-35C operations on the West Coast (specifically opposing sole basing at Lemoore, California) and instead preserve East Coast capability for carrier-based strike operations. The resolution requests the Navy provide a detailed plan for integrating F-35C squadrons at Oceana, citing the base's existing infrastructure, proximity to carrier homeports, and strategic role in supporting Atlantic Fleet readiness. It does not mandate action but formally states congressional preference for a dual-coast basing strategy.
