Navy DDG-51 and DDG-1000 Destroyer Programs: Background and Issues for Congress

FY2012 issues for Congress include the following: the potential impact of a year-long continuing resolution (CR) on the Navy's ability to execute its planned procurement of two DDG-51s FY2011; the contract status of the second and third ships in the DDG-1000 program; whether to approve, reject, or modify the Navy's proposal to develop the Flight III DDG-51 design and start procuring it in FY2016; whether it would be appropriate for the Navy to use a multiyear procurement (MYP) contract beginning in FY2013 to procure one or more Flight III DDG-51s; whether actions-such as adding DDG-51s to the Navy's shipbuilding plan and/or extending the lives of existing Flight I/II DDG-51s beyond current Navy plans-should be taken to mitigate a shortfall in cruisers and destroyers that is projected to begin in the 2020s; and whether to approve, reject, or modify the Navy's FY2011 and FY2012 funding requests for procurement of DDG-51s, for completing DDG-1000 procurement costs, and for research and development work on the AMDR.
