In February 2008, the Navy released the latest version of its long- term shipbuilding plan, which describes the number, types, and projected costs of ships the Navy has stated it requires to conduct peacetime and wartime missions over the next 30 years. Like the other long-range plans the service has submitted in recent years, the 2009 plan calls for increasing the size of the existing fleet, which consists of 280 battle force ships, to 313 ships by 2020 and beyond. CBO testified before this Subcommittee in March on the overall affordability of that plan and recently released a report updating its analysis. In today's testimony, CBO will focus more narrowly on the five-year period encompassed by the Future Years Defense Program 2009 to 2013 and on surface combatant programs in particular.
