NAVY SHIP MAINTENANCE: Allocation of Ship Maintenance Work in the Norfolk, Virginia, Area

Abstract

Officials of private shipyards and ship repair companies in the Norfolk, Virginia, area have expressed concern about the Department of the Navy's declining ship maintenance workload in recent years. As you requested, we are providing information on the Navy's policies and procedures for allocating ship maintenance work to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard and private ship repair companies in the Norfolk, Virginia, area and data regarding funding obligated to the public and private sectors. Specifically, this report discusses (1) the Navy's policies and procedures for allocating ship maintenance work to public and private facilities in the Norfolk area, (2) ship maintenance and modernization funding obligated to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard and private ship repair companies during fiscal years 1994 through 1998, and (3) the extent the Atlantic Fleet's ship maintenance program has been affected by the movement of funds out of the ship depot maintenance program since fiscal year 1994. Maintenance on nuclear-powered ships is referred to as nuclear ship maintenance, while maintenance on non-nuclear powered ships is referred to as conventional ship maintenance. Our scope and methodology are described in appendix I.
