Naval Sea Systems Command On Watch 2010

Abstract

Our plan is fully aligned with SECNAV's and CNO's guidance and priorities. In this publication, I hope you will see some of the great work we've accomplished with our Fleet and industry partners in delivering state-of-the-art ships and weapons systems for America's Navy. In Sustaining our Current Fleet over the past year, our Naval Shipyards delivered four of five Los Angeles-class Docking Selected Restricted Availabilities (DSRAs) on time, with three delivered early. Historically, submarine DSRAs have been one of our toughest challenges. Additionally, our aircraft carrier availabilities continue to be delivered on, or ahead of schedule in the Naval Shipyards. We've also taken some major strides to improve the material condition of our surface Fleet with the stand up of Surface Ship Life Cycle Management (SSLCM) Activity, which was funded by new efficiencies generated through direct work reviews with our customers and definitized tasking methodology within our Warfare Centers. Additionally, we implemented a new initiative to perform detailed inspections of surface ships to identify maintenance required to achieve full service life. These efforts, combined with realignment of the Navy's Regional Maintenance Centers into the NAVSEA team, will allow us to bring all aspects of the broader NAVSEA and industry engineering, programmatic and industrial capability and capacity together to maximize our combined contributions to sustaining today's Fleet today, tomorrow, and well into the future while optimizing the output from Navy's maintenance funding. I cannot overemphasize how much the Navy is counting on our leadership, ingenuity and willingness to change our processes for greater efficiency and effectiveness.
