“Brent joined Heritage after a 26-year Navy career that included numerous operational tours on nuclear-powered submarines, staffing of senior Defense Department leaders, and as a military diplomat in Asia. As a senior research fellow, Brent has focused on maritime security and the technologies shaping our future maritime forces.”

Sadler is a frequent contributor to media discussions on naval, maritime and shipbuilding issues. He is also an author with his most recent book being: Naval Power in Action: Seizing the Initiative in the New Cold War with China,
