The chairman of the Subcommittee on Seapower and Strategic and Critical Materials, House Armed Services Committee, and the chairman of the Subcommittee on Defense, House Appropriations Committee, asked GAO to evaluate Electric Boat's ability to build submarines in a timely and cost-effective manner and review other aspects concerning Electric Boat and its submarine construction programs. GAO found that although the Navy and Electric Boat have taken steps to improve their quality assurance programs, more improvement is needed; cost growth on the SSN-688 and Trident submarine contracts are likely to continue; and some SSN-688 and Trident submarine delivery dates may not be met unless unfavorable human resources and productivity trends are reversed.
