Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2001 Quadrennial Defense Review called for the Navy to provide more warfighting assets more quickly to multiple locations. Subsequently, the Navy made a preliminary decision to homeport a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier at Naval Station Mayport, Florida. This report is an independent estimate of the total federal costs for the proposed homeporting. This report: (1) developed an independent estimate of the full life-cycle costs to homeport a nuclear aircraft carrier at Mayport; and (2) determined to what extent the Navy's estimate meets the characteristics of a high-quality cost estimate. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find publication.

Book excerpt: " Over the next couple of years, maintenance work available to the ship repair industrial base supporting Naval Station Mayport is expected to decrease. Section 1017 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 required the Navy to analyze the costs and benefits of stationing additional DDG-51 class destroyers at Naval Station Mayport and to include other considerations. It also required GAO to provide an assessment of the Navy's analysis. The Navy provided its analysis in a report submitted to Congress on December 31, 2012. GAO's objectives were to describe the extent to which the Navy's analysis (1) demonstrated the use of applicable best practices for an analysis of costs and benefits and (2) provided information on other considerations, as required by Section 1017. In conducting our assessment, GAO identified applicable best practices for analyzing costs and benefits and discussed the Navy's documentation and methodology with knowledgeable officials. GAO also reviewed the information in the Navy's analysis, interviewed Navy and private ship repair firm officials, and visited Naval Station Mayport. GAO is not making recommendations in this report. DOD and the Department of the Navy reviewed a draft of this report and did not have formal comments. The Navy provided technical comments that were incorporated as appropriate in the"
Download or read book Navy Nuclear Aircraft Carrier CVN Homeporting at Mayport written by Ronald O'Rourke and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navy¿s 5 Atlantic Fleet CVNs are all homeported at Norfolk, VA. The Navy wants to establish a second Atlantic Fleet CVN home port by homeporting a CVN at Mayport, FL, in order to mitigate the risk of a terrorist attack, accident, or natural disaster. Transferring a CVN from Norfolk to Mayport would shift the local economic activity, which may be worth hundreds of millions of dollars/year. Contents of this report: (1) Intro.; (2) Background: The Navy¿s Aircraft Carrier Force; Norfolk and Mayport Home Ports; Navy Rationale for Mayport CVN Homeporting; Navy Comparison of Mayport and Norfolk; (3) Issues for Congress: Final Environ. Impact Statement; (4) Legislative Activity for FY 2011. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand publication.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents the methods and findings of RAND research on the adequacy of the defense industrial base to support further construction of aircraft carriers and on the cost, schedule, and technology issues associated with building the next carrier, designated CVN 77. If the current carrier force size of 12 ships is to be maintained and if a decay in the quality of basic capabilities is to be avoided, CVN 77 cannot be started more than a year or so beyond the currently planned date of 2002. The earlier CVN is started, the less it will cost. Increasing the build duration from the planned 6.5 years to 8.5 years will also reduce costs. However, timing should not greatly affect the survival of suppliers of carrier components. The report recommends beginning ship fabrication before 2002 (which could save hundreds of millions of dollars); ordering contractor-furnished equipment in advance of shipyard start (a savings of tens of millions); and investment in R & D directed toward adapting production processes and engineering improvements that could reduce the cost of carrier construction, operation and maintenance, and manning. In fact, the costs involved in building and operating carriers are so huge that the Navy should consider establishing a stable annual R & D funding level for these ships.

Book excerpt: The Navy performs risk management at all levels of its headquarters and command structure for all of its operations and assets, including naval installations where nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and other high-value Navy assets are located. GAO was directed to conduct an analysis of certain matters related to the Navy's plan to establish a second East Coast homeport for a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, including the risks the plan seeks to address. Our reporting objectives were to determine the extent to which the Navy (1) conducts risk management to identify and assess the risk associated with its force structure and high-value assets, including the risk associated with homeporting nuclear-powered aircraft carriers on the East Coast, and (2) has taken actions to mitigate any identified risks.
Download or read book Impacts of the Fleet Response Plan on Surface Combatant Maintenance written by Roland J. Yardley and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To achieve a more responsive and more readily deployable fleet of surface combatants, the Navy adopted the Fleet Response Plan (FRP) in 2003 to replace its traditional ship maintenance and readiness cycle. The goal of the FRP is to have non-deployed ships achieve a high level of readiness earlier and to maintain high readiness longer so that they can deploy on short notice. However, a challenge of implementing the FRP is establishing the processes and procedures, as well as a ready industrial base, to facilitate maintenance planning and execution to meet the now unpredictable FRP surge requirements and maintenance demands. By concentrating specifically on the DDG-51 class of destroyers, the authors of this report look at the effects the FRP has had thus far and determine whether maintenance resources are meeting maintenance demands and whether related industry resources have been coordinated effectively. Overall, the authors determine that the initiative appears to have promising effects but that more time will be needed to assess maintenance supply and demand apart from the increase of funding tied to military operations post-September 11, 2001.
