Change Summary Explanation
The FY 2023 funding request was reduced by $0.075 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. T-AO 205 delivery is May 2022, this was a 2 month schedule delay with first of class complexities (power train, system controls) and continued COVID driven labor shortages. Thus there was a one for one delay for the following testing events: Completion of DT-B, DT-C, OT-C, Survivability Assessment, TSST and FSAR. --- FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
