The Navy often does not follow its guidelines in managing its fleet modernization program. As a result, many ship alterations are deferred and data for cost estimates are not available. Also, the Navy does not always properly order material for the program, resulting in unnecessary procurements. The Navy spends nearly $1 billion a year in modernizing its ships. With growing concern over the readiness of the naval fleet, the Congress has increasingly scrutinized fleet modernization activities. The Congress is concerned that the Navy is wasting resources by not effectively managing the fleet modernization program. The Chairman, Subcommittee on Defense, House Committee on Appropriations, requested that GAO review the fleet modernization program, with the review serving as a follow-on to previous work performed for the Committee by GAO. Since GAO's earlier reports on the program, the Navy has made some improvements, particularly concerning the management of materials used in making the alterations.
