Impacts of the Fleet Response Plan on Surface Combatant Maintenance

Abstract

Until recently, the Navy's ship readiness objectives and maintenance needs for surface combatants were met through a two-year cycle. Ships were deployed in forward-presence roles for six months and spent the next 18 month primarily in maintenance and training. A ship would then be ready for another deployment. This approach satisfied the many personnel, presence, maintenance, and mission requirements of the Cold War era; however, new global threats have recently challenged these traditional methods of operation.
