Between FY9£T and FT02, the

Department or Defense will likely fund a ne^aircraft carriVr, four new attack submarines, l!\to 15

Aegis destroyers, eight to 10 17s, two to four shuttle ships and two or three arseng^ships. There1 may also be contracts for addition- al sealift ships and build/charter contract^to acquire new MSC tankp^ and combined tainer/ammo ships.

Longer term, there are plans for a new class of aircraft cajjfier, new surface combatantar additional submarines, etc.
