Navy Maintenance Costs to Overhaul Navy Ships at Private Shipyards

Abstract

This report reviewed the estimated and actual costs to overhaul Navy ships at private shipyards. We obtained information on the 105 regular ship overhauls performed in private shipyards from fiscal year 1982 through May 1985. We (1) compared contract award amounts, government estimates, and final contract prices, (2) reviewed selected contract modifications and ascertained their effect on contract costs, and (3) contrasted the size of price increases in the fixed-price contracts with those in the cost type contracts. We also reviewed Navy policies for distributing overhaul work geographically.
