This report documents the current state of the Navy Ship Acquisition Planning Tool, developed for the Naval Material Command Acquisition Research Council. The report discusses the structure of the acquisition tool, and describes in detail its major modules: the ship cost module, the yard price module, and the optimization module. The ship cost module calculates the cost to a shipyard to build a ship, goven unique ship and yard characteristics. The yard price module then calculates the price that the shipbuilder is likely to charge the Navy, based on the characteristics of the existing market. Finally, the optimization module calculates the lowest cost ship acquisition program, given the constraints specified.
