Completion of PY Shipbuilding Programs

The Completion of Prior Year Shipbuilding Programs aims to address cost overruns and implement necessary modifications across various naval vessels. This initiative involves multiple classes of ships, including the SSN Virginia Class, Littoral Combat Ships (LCS), and CVN Carrier Replacements.

For the SSN Virginia Class, the focus is on covering government-responsible portions of construction contract overruns for specific submarines from fiscal years 2015 to 2018. Similarly, for LCS, efforts are directed towards repairs, modernization, and economic price adjustments for several ships in the class.

In the case of CVN Carrier Replacements, objectives include managing contract overruns for CVN 79 and integrating Joint Strike Fighter capabilities as mandated by legislation. The strategy also involves revising construction and post-delivery plans to enhance efficiency and reduce shipyard time post-delivery. Additionally, for the CVN RCOH (Refueling and Complex Overhaul), resources are allocated to address cost growth and propulsion plant work due to delivery delays.

The program also encompasses auxiliary vessels such as the DDG-51 destroyers and LPD 17 Class ships. For DDG-51, resources are allocated to cover contract overruns and bridge system modifications across various ships in this class. The LPD 17 Class sees economic price adjustments for specific units, while LPD 17 FLT II focuses on weapon stowage enhancements and addressing COVID-19-induced schedule delays.

Furthermore, auxiliary support vessels like T-AGOS and TAGS classes are included in this initiative. The T-AGOS class addresses lead ship cost growth due to inflation and engineering challenges. Meanwhile, TAGS class funding targets change orders and equipment shortfalls due to obsolescence. This program seeks to ensure that prior year shipbuilding projects are completed efficiently while addressing unforeseen financial challenges.
