Another Navy policy has been to lengthen the cycle between over- hauls. To maintain ships between these extended overhauls more work is being performed during short se- lected restricted availabilities (SRA's). As a result yards in these five areas have a unique opportuni- ty to capture most of the growing amount of short term maintenance jobs.

Navy yard/commercial yard work split—There is continuing pressure to increase the share of ship maintenance expenditures that commercial yards receive. Presently commercial yards get about 35 per- cent of the total ship maintenance funding. Congress (particularly the

House) has been encouraging Navy to raise the commercial yard share to 40 percent. Additional work would be available for commercial bidding should the target percent- age be raised.

A test program is planned this year to compare naval and commer- cial shipyard performance on Navy ship overhauls. Two LPD overhauls will be awarded on the West

Coast—one each to a naval and commercial shipyard. Technical and cost performance will be compared.

A similar test is planned using two

Coast. be gone again on schedule. With Pennsylvania Shipbuilding, you'll get no talse promises or lame excuses.
