Navy since 1984. Exhibit 3 is devel- oped from this database—and shows the top 100 contractors to the

Navy during the preceding fiscal year.

Major winners were Newport

News (two aircraft carriers, subma- rines), General Dynamics (subma- rines, ATA aircraft, missiles),

McDonnell Douglas (F-18 and ATA aircraft, missiles), General Electric (electronics, nuclear plants), Grum- man (F-14, A-6 and E-2C aircraft),

Litton (Aegis and LHD ships, elec- tronics), Lockheed (Trident II mis- siles), Raytheon (electronics, mis- siles) and Hughes (torpedoes, mis- siles).

Long Term Outlook

The Navy views a shipbuilding program of about $11 billion per year as necessary to maintain the current force structure. This figure would support a building rate of 18 to 20 ships per year.

Fleet growth resulting from the recent build-up will generate on in- creasing flow of ship and ship sys- tems maintenance and repair.

Spending for this activity—includ- ing purchase of equipment and its installation—is projected to be an additional $10 billion annually.

Weapons procurement by the

Navy will likely continue at a $6 bil- lion to $6-1/2 billion level over the foreseeable future. Research and de- velopment will probably remain around $9 billion to $9-1/2 billion annually.

The following special section highlights the latest U.S. Navy con- tract awards for shipbuilding, ship repair and maintenance, shipboard communications, weapons, etc. The section covers contracts awarded between July 13 and September 30,

December, 1988 23 1988. For contracts prior to these dates, refer to the Naval Technology & Shipbuilding Supplement in the
