Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navy is procuring a new kind of destroyer called the DDG-1000. The ship is also known as the Zumwalt class destroyer, and was earlier called the DD(X). Navy budget plans call for procuring a total of seven DDG-1000s. The first two were procured in FY2007 using split funding (i.e., two-year incremental funding) in FY2007 and FY2008. The Navy estimates their combined procurement cost at $6,325 million. This figure includes about $1.9 billion in detailed design/nonrecurring engineering (DD/NRE) costs for the entire DDG-1000 class. The Navy's proposed FY2009 budget requests funding to procure the third DDG-1000 in FY2009; the Navy estimates its procurement cost at $2,653 million. The ship received $150 million in advance procurement funding in FY2008, and the Navy's proposed FY2009 budget requests the remaining $2,503 million. The Navy's proposed FY2009 budget also requests $51 million in advance procurement funding for the fourth DDG-1000, which the Navy budget plans call for procuring in FY2010.

Book excerpt: At a July 31, 2008, hearing before the Seapower and Expeditionary Forces subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee, Navy officials announced a major change in the service's position on what kind of destroyers it wants to procure over the next several years: The Navy officials testified that the service no longer wants to procure additional Zunwalt (DDG-1000) class destroyers, and instead now wants to restart procurement of Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) destroyers. Prior to changing its position, the Navy had wanted to continue procuring DDG- 1000s, and did not want to procure any more DDG-51 Navy plans had called for procuring a total of seven DDG-1000s. The first two were procured in FY2007, and the Navy's proposed FY2009 budget, submitted to Congress in February 2008, requested finding for a third. The three DDG-51s procured in FY2005 were to have been the final ships in the DDG-51 program, and Navy budgets since FY2006 have included funding for closing out the DDG-51 program. Until the July 31 hearing, the Navy for several years had stressed the need for procuring additional DDG-1000s, defended the DDG-1000 program against various criticisms, and rejected proposals for stopping DDG-1000 procurement and for resuming procurement of DDG-51s.

The Navy wants to procure the third DDG-1000 in FY2009; the Navy estimates its procurement cost at $2,653 million. The ship received $150 million in advance procurement funding in FY2008, and the Navy's proposed FY2009 budget requests the remaining $2,503 million. The Navy's proposed FY2009 budget also requests $51 million in advance procurement funding for the fourth DDG-1000, which the Navy wants to procure in FY2010. The House Armed Services Committee, in its report (H. Rept. 110-652 of May 16, 2008) on the FY2009 defense authorization bill (H.R. 5658), recommended reducing the Navy's request for FY2009 DDG-1000 procurement funding from $2,503 million to zero, and increasing the Navy's FY2009 request for DDG-1000 advance procurement funding from $51 million to $400 million. The report states that the $400 million is to be used either for construction of DDG-1000s or for restarting construction of Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) class destroyers, which were last procured in FY2005. The Senate Armed Services Committee, in its report (S. Rept. 110-335 of May 12, 2008) on the FY2009 defense authorization bill (S. 3001), recommended approval of the Navy's requests for FY2009 procurement and advance procurement funding for the DDG-1000 program. The DDG-1000 program raises several potential oversight issues for Congress, including the accuracy of Navy cost estimates for the program, program affordability and cost effectiveness, technical risk, and the program's potential implications for the shipbuilding industrial base.

Book excerpt: This report presents background information and potential oversight issues for Congress on the Navy's Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) and Zumwalt (DDG-1000) class destroyer programs. The Navy procured DDG-51s from FY1985 through FY2005, and resumed procuring them in FY2010. The three DDG-51s requested for procurement in FY2019 are to be the 80th, 81st, and 82nd ships in the class. The Navy procured three DDG-1000s in FY2007-FY2009 and plans no further procurement of DDG-1000s. The 13 DDG-51s planned for procurement in FY2018-FY2022 are to be procured under a multiyear procurement (MYP) contract that Congress approved as part of its action on the Navy's FY2018 budget. DDG-51s procured in FY2017 and subsequent years are being built to a new design (the Flight III DDG-51 design), which incorporates a new and more capable radar called the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) or SPY-6 radar. The Navy estimates the combined procurement cost of the three DDG-51s requested for procurement in FY2019 at $5,292.7 million, or an average of $1,764.2 million each. The ships are to receive $39.4 million in prior-year (FY2018) Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) advance procurement (AP) funding (i.e., funding for up-front batch orders of components of DDG-51s to be procured under the FY2018-FY2022 MYP contract). The Navy's proposed FY2019 budget requests the following: the remaining $5,253.3 million in procurement funding needed to complete the estimated procurement cost for the three DDG-51s requested for FY2019; $391.9 million in additional EOQ AP funding for DDG-51s to be procured under the FY2018-FY2022 MYP contract; $54.0 million in cost-to-complete procurement funding to cover cost increases on DDG-51s procured in prior fiscal years; and $271.0 million in procurement funding to cover cost increases on Zumwalt (DDG-1000) class destroyers. Issues for Congress for FY2019 for the DDG-51 and DDG-1000 destroyer programs include the following: whether to approve, reject, or modify the Navy's FY2019 funding requests for the DDG-51 and DDG-1000 programs; whether to provide funding for the procurement of an additional DDG-51 (for a total procurement of four DDG-51s rather than three) in FY2019; continued cost growth in the DDG-1000 program; the Navy's intended shift in mission orientation for the DDG-1000s; cost, schedule, and technical risk in the Flight III DDG-51 effort; and the lack of an announced Navy roadmap for accomplishing three things in the cruiser-destroyer force: restoring ship growth margins; introducing large numbers of ships with integrated electric drive systems or other technologies that could provide ample electrical power for supporting future electrically powered weapons; and introducing technologies for substantially reducing ship operating and support (O&S) costs.

Book excerpt: The Navy is procuring a new kind of destroyer called the DDG-1000 (formerly DD(X)), and wants to procure a new kind of cruiser called the CG(X). Navy plans call for procuring 7 DDG- 1000s and 19 CG(X)s between FY2007 and FY2023. The first two DDG-1000s were procured in FY2007. The Navy wants to procure the first CG(X) in FY2011 and the second in FY2013. The Navy's FY2008 budget requests $2,802 million in procurement funding to complete the Navy's estimated procurement cost for the first two DDG-1000s, which are being split-funded (i.e., incrementally funded) across FY2007 and FY2008. The Navy's combined estimated procurement cost for the two ships is $6,370 million. The two ships received $1,010 million in FY2005 and FY2006 advance procurement funding, and $2,557 million in FY2007 procurement funding. The Navy's FY2008 budget also requests $151 million in advance procurement funding for the third DDG-1000, whose procurement cost the Navy estimates at $2,563 million. The DDG-1000/CG(X) program raises several potential oversight issues for Congress, including the accuracy of Navy cost estimates for the program, the program's affordability and cost effectiveness, the acquisition strategy for the third and subsequent DDG-1000s, and the program's potential implications for the shipbuilding industrial base. Potential options for Congress for the DDG- 1000/CG(X) program include supporting the Navy's proposed plans or curtailing the DDG-1000 and/or CG(X) programs and pursuing lower-cost alternatives to the DDG- 1000 and/or CG(X) designs. The House Armed Services Committee, in its report (H. Rept. 110-146) on the FY2008 defense authorization bill (H.R. 1585), recommended approval of the Navy's request for FY2008 procurement funding for the DDG-1000. The report recommended increasing the Navy's FY2008 request for research and development funding for the DDG-1000 program by $9 million for work on permanent magnet motor technology.

Book excerpt: As part of its proposed FY2015 budget, the Navy is requesting funding for the procurement of two Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) class Aegis destroyers. The 10 DDG-51s programmed for procurement in FY2013-FY2017 (three ships in FY2013, one in FY2014, and two each in FY2015-FY2017) are being procured under a multiyear procurement (MYP) contract. The Navy estimates the combined procurement cost of the two DDG-51s requested for procurement in FY2015 at $2,969.4 million, or an average of $1,484.7 million each. The two ships have received a total of $297.9 million in prior-year advance procurement (AP) funding. The Navy's proposed FY2015 budget requests the remaining $2,671.4 million to complete the two ships' combined procurement cost. The Navy's proposed FY2015 budget also requests $129.1 million to complete the cost of one of the three DDG-51s funded in FY2013 (where a funding shortfall occurred as a result of the March 1, 2013, sequester on Department of Defense [DOD] programs), and $134.0 million in advance procurement (AP) funding for DDG-51s to be procured in future fiscal years, bringing the total requested for the DDG-51 program for FY2015 (excluding outfitting and post-delivery costs) to $2,934.6 million. The Navy's proposed FY2015 budget also requests $419.5 million in procurement funding to help complete the procurement cost of three Zumwalt (DDG-1000) class destroyers procured in FY2007-FY2009. The current version of the DDG-51 is called the Flight IIA design. The Navy wants to begin procuring a new version of the DDG-51 design, called the Flight III design, starting with the second of the two ships scheduled for procurement in FY2016. The Flight III design is to feature a new and more capable radar called the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR). The Navy's proposed budget requests $144.7 million in research and development funding for the AMDR.

Book excerpt: The Navy wants to procure three new classes of surface combatants -- the DDG-1000 (formerly DD(X)) destroyer, the CG(X) cruiser, and a smaller surface combatant called the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). The Navy wants to procure 7 DDG-1000s, 19 CG(X)s, and 55 LCSs. The first two DDG-1000s are to be procured in FY2007, with each ship being split-funded (i.e., incrementally funded) across FY2007 and FY2008. The estimated cost of each ship is $3,291 million, for a total of $6,582 million. The FY2007 budget requests $2,568 million in procurement funding for the two ships. The Navy estimates that the next three DDG-1000s will cost an average of roughly $2.5 billion each. The Navy wants to procure the first CG(X) in FY2011. The first LCS was procured in FY2005, three more were procured in FY2006, and the Navy's proposed FY2007 budget requests $521 million to procure two additional ships. The Navy's FY2007 unfunded requirements list (URL) -- its "wish list" of items desired but not included in the FY2007 budget -- includes an additional two LCSs for an additional $520 million. The DDG-1000/CG(X) and LCS programs raise several oversight issues for Congress, including the affordability of the DDG-1000/CG(X) program and the acquisition strategies for both programs. FY2007 Defense Appropriations Bill (H.R. 5631). The House Appropriations Committee, in its report (H.Rept. 109-504 of June 16, 2006) on H.R. 5631, recommends approving the Navy's request for FY2007 DDG-1000 procurement funding to fully fund the procurement of one DDG-1000 rather than partially fund the procurement of the first two DDG-1000s. The report recommends approval of the $521 million requested for procuring two LCSs (page 141) and recommends increasing funding for LCS research and development work by $12.6 million above the requested amount (pages 239 and 250). The Senate Appropriations Committee, in its report (S.Rept. 109-292 of July 25, 2006) on H.R. 5631, recommends approving the Navy's request for FY2007 procurement funding for the first two DDG-1000s (page 115), and increasing the Navy's request for FY2007 DDG-1000 research and development funding by a net $1 million (pages 179 and 186). The report recommends funding the procurement of one LCS (rather than the requested two) in FY2007, and rescinding funding (in Section 8043) for one of the three LCSs procured in FY2006 (pages 114, 115-116, and 230-231). The report recommends increasing the FY2007 request for LCS research and development funding by $1.8 million (pages 177 and 185). This report will be updated as events warrant.

Book excerpt: The Navy's FY2013 budget submission calls for procuring nine Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) class destroyers in FY2013-FY2017, in annual quantities of 2-1-2-2-2. The five DDG-51s scheduled for procurement in FY2013-FY2015, and one of the two scheduled for procurement in FY2016, are to be of the current Flight IIA design. The Navy wants to begin procuring a new version of the DDG-51 design, called the Flight III design, starting with the second of the two ships scheduled for procurement in FY2016. The two DDG-51s scheduled for procurement in FY2017 are also to be of the Flight III design. The Flight III design is to feature a new and more capable radar called the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR). The Navy this year is requesting congressional approval to use a multiyear procurement (MYP) arrangement for the nine DDG-51s scheduled for procurement in FY2013-FY2017.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navy in FY2006 and future years wants to procure no more Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) class destroyers and instead wants to begin procuring two new classes of surface combatants a new destroyer called the DD(X), and a smaller surface combatant called the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). In support of this plan, the Navy for FY2005 requested procurement funding for three final DDG-51s and initial procurement funding for the first DD(X) and the first LCS. Congress for FY2005 provided $3,445.0 million for procurement of three DDG- 51s. Congress also provided $350.5 million in advance procurement funding for the DD(X) program $221.1 million for the first DD(X), and $84.4 million for the second DD(X) and directed that procurement of DD(X)s be fully funded in the Navy s ship-procurement account rather than incrementally funded in the Navy s research and development account as the Navy had proposed for the first DD(X). Congress approved the Navy s plan to build the first LCS using research and development funds rather than shipbuilding funds, provided $214.7 million in procurement funding to fund the ship s entire construction cost (rather than about half the ship s cost, as the Navy had requested), required the next LCS (to be funded in FY2006) to be built to a second LCS design now being developed, prohibited the Navy from requesting funds in FY2006 to build a third LCS, and required all LCSs built after the lead ships of each design to be funded in the Navy s ship-procurement account rather than its research and development account. As part of the proposed FY2006 defense budget to be submitted to Congress in early February 2005, the Navy is expected to request additional advance procurement funding for the first DD(X) and procurement funding for the second LCS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Administration's FY2010 defense budget proposes to end the procurement of DDG-1000 (Zumwalt) class destroyers with the third ship, which was authorized and partially funded in FY2009, and restart procurement DDG-51 (Arleigh Burke) class Aegis destroyers, which were last procured in FY2005. The Administration's budget is consistent with a proposal for stopping DDG-1000 procurement and restarting DDG-51 procurement that the Navy announced in July 2008. The Navy's plans for destroyer procurement in FY2012 and beyond are somewhat unclear. The Navy since July 2008 has spoken on several occasions about a desire to build a total of 11 or 12 DDG-51s between FY2010 and FY2015, but the Navy also testified to the Seapower subcommittee of the Senate Armed Services Committee on June 16, 2009, that it is conducting a study on destroyer procurement options for FY2012 and beyond that is examining design options based on either the DDG-51 or DDG-1000 hull form. A January 2009 memorandum from the Department of Defense acquisition executive called for such a study. The proposed FY2010 defense budget requests procurement funding to complete the cost of the third DDG-1000 and to procure one DDG-51, and advance procurement funding for two more DDG-51s that the Navy wants ...
