CVN-21 is the Navy s next planned aircraft carrier. Congress has been providing advance procurement funding for the ship since FY2001. The Navy s FY2006 budget submission requests $565 million in FY2006 advance procurement funding for the ship and defers its procurement by one year, to FY2008. The Navy estimates that CVN-21 would cost about $3.2 billion to develop and about $10.5 billion to procure, for a total estimated acquisition cost of about $13.7 billion.
