The Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Industrial Policy) (ODUSD(IP)) recently completed Part 1 of a Global Shipbuilding Industrial Base Benchmarking Study (GSIBBS) that was focused on the first-tier U.S. shipyards and leading large international yards. Part 1 had several objectives but the principal output was a proposed list of actions for the Department of Defense and Industry to improve the performance of the U.S. shipbuilding enterprise. ODUSD(IP) has extended GSIBBS to include the U.S. mid- tier yards (Part 2). At approximately the same time, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) commissioned a study of mid-tier U.S. shipyards to assess their capability to build medium-sized combatants. The study has been executed through its Navy ManTech Center of Excellence, the Center for Naval Shipbuilding Technology (CNST). The functions of both ODUSD(IP) and CNST are described in Appendix 1. The capabilities assessment and benchmarking study have common elements and a similar methodology. Therefore, in order to make the most efficient use of resources and minimize industry disruption, the two studies were combined and carried out simultaneously.
