The Navy plans to extend by 15 years the service life of four aircraft carriers. The Navy estimated it will take 28 months to do the work on each carrier, and it plans to do the work between October 1980 and November 1989. The U.S.S. Saratoga is the first carrier scheduled, and the Navy decided to have the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard do the work on the U.S.S. Saratoga at an estimated cost of $554 to $569 million. The Navy considered having the work done on contract by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company and the estimated cost was $539.1 million. This report discusses the Navy's cost estimates and other factors the Navy considered in deciding to do the work at Philadelphia and recommends that the decision be validated again.
