Navy Ford (CVN-78) Class Aircraft Carrier Program: Background and Issues for Congress

One potential FY2010 issue for Congress is whether to approve DOD's proposal to defer CVN-79's procurement to FY2013, or instead maintain FY2012 as the ship's year of procurement. Congress' decision on this issue could affect, among other things, the amount of AP funding that Congress provides for the ship in FY2010. A second potential FY2010 issue for Congress is whether to provide a legislative waiver permitting the Navy's carrier force to temporarily decline from 11 ships to 10 ships during a 33- month period between 2012 (when the aging aircraft carrier Enterprise is scheduled to retire) and 2015 (when CVN-79 is scheduled to enter service as its replacement). The Navy asked for such a waiver in the FY2008 and FY2009 budgets. Congress each time did not grant the waiver, and the Navy is expected to ask for it again as part of the FY2010 budget. Congress' decision on whether to grant the waiver could affect FY2010 maintenance-related funding requirements for the Enterprise.
