In December 2016, the Navy released a new force structure assessment that called for a fleet of 355 ships substantially larger than the current force of 283 ships.1 The Navy can increase the size of its fleet using some combination of three broad approaches: increasing the number of new ships it purchases, delaying the retirements of currently active ships, or reactivating decommissioned ships.2 This report focuses on the thirdpathway, drawing insights from past experiences with reactivating decommissioned ships that might inform lawmakers decisions about reactivating retired ships in the future.
