Navy DD(X), CG(X), and LCS Ship Acquisition Programs: Oversight Issues and Options for Congress

The FY2006-FY2011 Future Years Defense Plan (FYDP) reduces planned DD(X) procurement to one per year in FY2007-FY2011 and accelerates procurement of the first CG(X) to FY2011. The FY2006 budget requests $716 million in advance procurement funding for the DD(X) program - $666 million for the first DD(X) and $50 million for the second DD(X) - and $1,115 million for DD(X)/CG(X) research and development. The budget requests $613.3 million for the LCS program, including $576.5 million in research and development funding - $240.5 million to build the second LCS, and $336.0 million in additional research and development funding - and $36.8 million in procurement funding for LCS mission modules. The issue for Congress is whether to approve, modify, or reject the Navy's proposals for the DD(X), CG(X), and LCS programs. Surface combatants are a major component of the Navy, and construction of surface combatants represents a significant share of the Navy's shipbuilding program. Decisions that Congress makes on procurement of surface combatants will thus significantly affect future Navy capabilities, Navy funding requirements, and the U.S. defense industrial base.
