Cost estimating relationships based on the observed (reported) cost and weight (full load displacement) of U.S. Navy ships are derived for the purpose of applying these cost estimating relationships to ships in the fleets of both the U.S. and USSR. This application results in broad, general comparisons that, in the aggregate, provide useful trend comparisons. These cost estimating relationships produce varying results on a class basis, but within each group or category of ships the class overestimates tend to be offset by class underestimates to yield a relatively small category error. This paper updates major portions of IDA Paper P-1530, Simple Relationships for Estimating Procurement Cost of U.S. Navy Ship Categories, dated March 1982.
