CBO Study: An Analysis of the Navy's Fiscal Year 2011Shipbuilding Plan

An Analysis of the Navy’s Fiscal Year 2011 Shipbuilding Plan, May 2010

  • “The direction of the Congress, the Department of the Navy issues annual reports that describe its plans for ship construction over the coming 30 years. The latest report—issued in February and covering fiscal years 2011 to 2040—contains some significant changes in the Navy’s long-term goals for shipbuilding. The new plan appears to increase the required size of the fleet compared with earlier plans, while reducing the number of ships to be purchased — and thus the costs for ship construction — over the next three decades. Despite those reductions, the total costs of carrying out the 2011 plan would be much higher than the funding levels that the Navy has received in recent years, according to analysis by the Congressional
    Budget Office (CBO).”
