The Administration s proposed FY2003 defense budget requests $1,018 million for the Navy s program to refuel and convert 4 Trident ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) into cruise-missile-carrying and special operations forces (SOF) support submarines (SSGNs). The Administration s proposal follows Congressional action last year on the FY2002 defense budget to expand the Administration s originally proposed 2-boat Trident conversion program into a 4- boat program. This report will be updated as events warrant.
