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

The issue for Congress is whether to approve, modify, or reject the Navy's proposals for the DD(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. This report discusses these programs in more depth, particularly with regard to oversight issues and options for Congress. The next section of the report provides background information on Navy surface combatants. The following section discusses potential oversight issues for Congress relating to surface combatant force-structure planning, the DD(X) program, and the LCS program. The subsequent section presents options for Congress on the DD(X) and LCS programs. A final section presents recent legislative activity on the two programs.
