The cost of operating Navy ships is difficult to determine, but extremely important to accurately predict. Underfunding in this area could result in the deferral of equipment replacement and spare parts replenishment consumption, ultimately reducing the Navy's current level of readiness. Over- funding could hinder the Navy's efforts to recapitalize assets in order to next future threats. As the quote above underscores, the Navy is determined to more accurately predict resource needs in order to fully fund recapitalization efforts. Within the Operations and Maintenance, Navy (O&M,N) and Operations and Maintenance, Navy Reserve (O&M,NR) appropriations categories, the Mission and Other Ship Operations (1B1B) sub-activity group provides 'resources for all aspects of ship operations required to continuously deploy combat ready warships and supporting forces in support of national objectives' (FY 2003 President's Budget). The lBlB sub-activity group, to be referred to as Ship Ops throughout this paper, has its resource requirements determined by the OPNAV N80 (programming) staff.
