Senate Appropriations Committee chairman's continued support of

Navy programs.

CVN-74 and -75 are to be com- pleted in the mid-1990s. They will replace two Forrestal-class carriers.

Actual spending for equipment and material will be spread over the next 13 years. As shown below, pro- jected outlays will peak between FY 1994-1996.

Projected Outlays for CVN-75 and -75 ($ in millions)

Total $6,969.9

Newport News will obviously benefit from the program, being the only U.S. shipyard able to build air- craft carriers. Many other suppliers and manufacturers will also directly and indirectly benefit.

There has been talk of lowering

Navy's force objective to 13 instead of 15 carrier battle groups as a cost saving measure. Scheduled delivery of these new barriers in the mid- 1990s helps ensure 15 carrier battle groups will be in place. This creates a continued requirement for the surface combatants and other ships which comprise the battle group for- mation.

Aegis Ships (CG-47 and DDG-51)

The Navy requested funds for two CG-47 class cruisers and three

DDG-51 class destroyers in FY 1988. Citing technical problems in the DDG-51 program, the Congress refused to authorize or appropriate funds for DDG's this year. Instead, the Congress provided funds for five

CG-47s. These five ships will com- plete the program objective of building 27 Aegis cruisers.

Litton-Ingalls and Bath Iron

Works are builders of both CG-47 and DDG-51 ships.

Another action is Congressional direction that Navy open FY 1989 competition for DDG-51 contracts to other technically qualified bid- ders. This will enable Avondale to compete for future orders.

Minewarfare Ships (MCM and MHC)

The Navy had planned to order three MCMs in FY 1988. Citing technical and contractual difficul- ties in the program, the Congress refused to fund more MCMs until the problems are resolved. Navy's objective is to build 14 MCMs. Sev- en are on order and one has been delivered. The six remaining MCMs are to be opened to full competi- tion.

Peterson Builders and Marinette

Marine are building MCMs. 30 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
