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

Issues for Congress include the following: whether actions should be taken to mitigate the significant projected shortfall in cruisers and destroyers; schedule risk for the Flight IIA DDG-51s; whether there is an adequate analytical basis for procuring Flight III DDG-51s in lieu of the previously planned CG(X) cruiser, and whether an analysis of alternatives (AOA) or the equivalent of an AOA should be performed before committing to the development and procurement of Flight III DDG-51s; whether the Flight III DDG-51 would have sufficient air and missile capability to perform projected air and missile defense missions; cost, schedule, and technical risk in the Flight III DDG-51 program; whether the Flight III DDG-51 design would have sufficient growth margin for a projected 35- or 40-year service life; whether it would be appropriate for the Navy to use a multiyear procurement (MYP) contract in FY2013-FY2017 to procure one or more Flight III DDG-51s; and whether the categorization of the Flight III DDG-51 program in the DOD acquisition process provides for a sufficient level of oversight for the program.
