Navy DDG-1000 Destroyer Program: Background, Oversight Issues, and Options for Congress

Abstract

The Navy is procuring a new kind of destroyer called the DDG-1000. The ship was earlier called the DD(X). Navy plans call for procuring a total of seven DDG-1000s. The first two were procured in FY2007 using split funding (i.e., incremental funding) in FY2007 and FY2008. The Navy estimates their combined procurement cost a $6,325 million. The figure includes about $2.0 billion detailed design/non-recurring engineering (DD/NRE) costs for the entire DDG-1000 class. The Navy wants to procure the third DDG-1000 in FY2009; the Navy estimates its procurement cost at $2,653 million. The ship received $150 million in advance procurement funding in FY2008, and the Navy's proposed FY2009 budget requests the remaining $2,503 million. The Navy's proposed FY2009 budget also requests $51 million in advance procurement funding for the fourth DDG-1000, which the Navy wants to procure in FY2010.
