Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Administration assumed office in January 1981, it inherited a fleet of about 480 ships, including twelve deployable carrier battle groups. Considering this fleet inadequate for U.S. defense needs, the Administration established higher force goals in almost every ship category, with the objective of building up the total number of battle force ships to over 600 by the end of the 1980s. Other key goals were an increase in deployable carrier battle groups from 12 to 15 and a comparable increase in aircraft to fly from these carriers. Concerns have been raised about the costs of attaining and maintaining this 600-ship Navy. Such concerns could be well-founded. From 1980 through 1985, the Navy's total budget grew at a real (inflation-adjusted) average annual rate of about 7 percent a year, or from $71.5 billion in 1980 (adjusted for accrual accounting) to $100.3 billion in 1985. This study estimates that, over the next decade, the Navy's budget would have to continue to increase at a real rate of between 3 and 6 percent a year to meet the Navy's goals. Such sustained growth would result in doubling the Navy budgets in constant dollars between 1980 and 1994.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once the indisputably dominant power at sea, the United States has seen this dominance erode over the past two decades as a result of steady growth in Soviet naval capabilities and declining force levels in the U.S. Navy. Between 1970 and 1980 the total number of ships in the U.S. Navy fell from 847 to 538 and uniformed personnel strength declined from 675,000 to about 525,000. Although the remaining ships are newer and more capable than those retired, the Navy now has substantially fewer ships with which to sustain its peacetime commitments or to conduct wartime operations. One result has been an operational pace in recent years nearly unprecedented in peacetime. The Chief of Naval Operations recently testified that "the Navy has been at virtually a wartime operating tempo since the beginning of the Vietnam conflict and has never stood down."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's Navy numbers about 285 battle force ships (a category that includes aircraft carriers, submarines, surface combat ships, amphibious warfare ships, and various support vessels). Recently, the Navy indicated that it needs a fleet of 313 ships to perform all of its missions. Building and sustaining such a force, however, would require greater budgetary resources over the next three decades than the Navy has received in recent years. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the Navy would have to spend an average of about $21 billion per year (in 2007 dollars) on ship procurement to carry out its 313-ship plan— more than 70 percent greater than its average spending between 2000 and 2005. At the same time, the Navy has plans to modernize its aircraft that, if fully implemented, would require more resources than the service currently spends on new planes and helicopters.Given the many pressures that the federal budget will face in coming decades, the Navy might not receive a sizable increase in funding. In that case, what alternative force structures could be accommodated within existing spending levels? This CBO study—prepared at the request of the Subcommittee on Seapower of the Senate Committee on Armed Services—examines that question. It looks at the Navy's modernization plans for ships and aircraft and their budgetary implications. It also analyzes five alternative approaches to modernization that would cost roughly the same average annual amount as the Navy has spent since 2000. In keeping with CBO's mandate to provide impartial analysis, this study makes no recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updated 12/10/2020: In December 2016, the Navy released a force-structure goal that callsfor achieving and maintaining a fleet of 355 ships of certain types and numbers. The 355-shipgoal was made U.S. policy by Section 1025 of the FY2018 National Defense AuthorizationAct (H.R. 2810/P.L. 115- 91 of December 12, 2017). The Navy and the Department of Defense(DOD) have been working since 2019 to develop a successor for the 355-ship force-level goal.The new goal is expected to introduce a new, more distributed fleet architecture featuring asmaller proportion of larger ships, a larger proportion of smaller ships, and a new third tier oflarge unmanned vehicles (UVs). On December 9, 2020, the Trump Administration released a document that can beviewed as its vision for future Navy force structure and/or a draft version of the FY202230-year Navy shipbuilding plan. The document presents a Navy force-level goal that callsfor achieving by 2045 a Navy with a more distributed fleet architecture, 382 to 446 mannedships, and 143 to 242 large UVs. The Administration that takes office on January 20, 2021,is required by law to release the FY2022 30-year Navy shipbuilding plan in connection withDOD's proposed FY2022 budget, which will be submitted to Congress in 2021. In preparingthe FY2022 30-year shipbuilding plan, the Administration that takes office on January 20,2021, may choose to adopt, revise, or set aside the document that was released on December9, 2020. The Navy states that its original FY2021 budget submission requests the procurement ofeight new ships, but this figure includes LPD-31, an LPD-17 Flight II amphibious ship thatCongress procured (i.e., authorized and appropriated procurement funding for) in FY2020.Excluding this ship, the Navy's original FY2021 budget submission requests the procurementof seven new ships rather than eight. In late November 2020, the Trump Administrationreportedly decided to request the procurement of a second Virginia-class attack submarinein FY2021. CRS as of December 10, 2020, had not received any documentation from theAdministration detailing the exact changes to the Virginia-class program funding linesthat would result from this reported change. Pending the delivery of that information fromthe administration, this CRS report continues to use the Navy's original FY2021 budgetsubmission in its tables and narrative discussions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By substantially increasing defense budgets, the Reagan Admin. (RA) did more than merely underwrite improvements in military forces, it undertook initiatives that changed both the image and reality of America's national defense. This book examines: the Strategic Defense Initiative, the 600 ship Navy, and the hefty increase in the Defense budget. Critics and supporters of the RA do agree on one point: the RA came into office with the intent of strengthening defense policy. How well the RA succeeded in that effort and the cost of that success are debated here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Chairman, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) appreciates the opportunity to testify today on the costs of attaining and sustaining the 600-ship Navy. When the current Administration assumed office in January 1981, it established the objective of building up the total number of the Navy's "battle force" ships to over 600 by the end of the 1980s. This numerical goal was a shorthand for more specific force structure and modernization goals, such as increasing deployable carrier battle groups from 12 to 15 -- with a comparable increase in aircraft to fly from these carriers -- and expanding the number of nuclear attack submarines. The ensuing expansion has raised concerns about the budgetary implications of attaining and maintaining such a force, and the concerns could be well-founded. From 1980 through 1985, the Navy's total budget grew at a real (that is, inflation adjusted) rate of 7.5 percent a year. Over the next decade, CBO estimates that the Navy's budget would have to increase at a real rate of between about 3 percent and 5 percent a year to meet all of the Navy's goals. Such sustained growth, while clearly not impossible, would be unprecedented in peacetime and, in constant dollars, would lead to a doubling of the Navy budget between 1980 and 1994. My testimony today will first describe CBO's projections of budgets needed to meet current Navy goals. These projections are contained in CBO's just released study entitled "Future Budget Requirements for the 600-Ship Navy." Then I will outline several strategies that accommodate lower growth in the Navy's budget, should the Congress find that necessary. Each of these strategies, however, would provide a different Navy and, quite possibly, one that is less capable than the version currently planned.

Book excerpt: The decades after World War II were a golden age across much of the world. It was a time of economic miracles, an era when steady jobs were easy to find and families could see their living standards improving year after year. And then, around 1973, the good times vanished. The world economy slumped badly, then settled into the slow, erratic growth that had been the norm before the war. The result was an era of anxiety, uncertainty, and political extremism that we are still grappling with today. In An Extraordinary Time, acclaimed economic historian Marc Levinson describes how the end of the postwar boom reverberated throughout the global economy, bringing energy shortages, financial crises, soaring unemployment, and a gnawing sense of insecurity. Politicians, suddenly unable to deliver the prosperity of years past, railed haplessly against currency speculators, oil sheikhs, and other forces they could not control. From Sweden to Southern California, citizens grew suspicious of their newly ineffective governments and rebelled against the high taxes needed to support social welfare programs enacted when coffers were flush. Almost everywhere, the pendulum swung to the right, bringing politicians like Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan to power. But their promise that deregulation, privatization, lower tax rates, and smaller government would restore economic security and robust growth proved unfounded. Although the guiding hand of the state could no longer deliver the steady economic performance the public had come to expect, free-market policies were equally unable to do so. The golden age would not come back again. A sweeping reappraisal of the last sixty years of world history, An Extraordinary Time forces us to come to terms with how little control we actually have over the economy.
