Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress

Abstract

The Navy's proposed FY2010 budget is expected to be submitted to Congress in early- to mid- May. Although the Navy is required to submit a new 30-year shipbuilding plan each year, in conjunction with its annual budget submission, it is not clear whether the Navy will submit a new, FY2010 version of its 30-year shipbuilding plan when it submits its proposed FY2010 budget. A February 2009 press report suggested that the Navy in late-2008 was examining options for reducing the cost of the FY2010 version of its 30-year shipbuilding plan by reducing planned procurements of certain higher-cost ships.
