Navy DD(X) Destroyer Program: Background and Issues for Congress

Abstract

The DD(X) is a proposed new type of Navy destroyer. The Navy estimates that the first DD(X) will cost about $2.8 billion to design and build, including about $1 billion in detailed design and nonrecurring engineering costs for the class. The issue for Congress is whether to approve, modify, or reject the Navy's plan for the DD(X) program. For a longer discussion of the DD(X), see CRS Report RL32109. This report will be updated as events warrant.
