The Navy's Carrier Battle Groups (CBG) have traditionally supported the national defense strategy by providing overseas presence and a crisis response capability. This report discusses the policy, operational, and force structure aspects of CBG and provides possible alternatives for meeting national security requirements with fewer carriers. The Navy plans to reduce the force to 12 active carriers and an aviation training carrier by the end of FY 1995. The Navy intends to replace its conventional carriers with nuclear carriers on a one to one basis to maintain a 12 active carrier force.
Over the past several decades, increases in acquisition costs for U.S. Navy combatants have outpaced the rate of inflation. To understand why, the authors of this book examined two principal source categories of ship cost escalation (economy-driven factors and customer-driven factors) and interviewed various shipbuilders. Based on their analysis, the authors propose some ways the Navy might reduce ship costs in the future.
The Navy's Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is envisioned as a reconfigurable vessel able to meet three missions: surface warfare, mine countermeasures, and anti-submarine warfare. It consists of the ship (seaframe) and the mission package it carries and deploys. The Navy plans to invest over $25 billion through FY 2035 to acquire LCS. This report: (1) identified technical, design, and construction challenges to completing the first four ships within current cost and schedule estimates; (2) assessed the Navy's progress developing and fielding mission packages; and (3) evaluated the quality of recent Navy cost analyses for seaframes and their effect on program progress.
