This report discusses the Navy acquisition of the Amphibious Landing Transport Dock 17 class of ships (LPD 17). The Acquisition Category I Defense program for 12 vessels is expected to exceed $10 billion (then-year costs). Milestone II approval for the ship class acquisition occurred in June 1996. Following a December 1996 competitive source selection, the Navy awarded a combination engineering, manufacturing and development, and low-rate initial production contract to Avondale Industries for $641 million. The audit objective was to evaluate the overall management of the LPD 17 weapon system to determine whether the Navy is developing the acquisition cost-effectively in readiness for the production and deployment phases of the acquisition process. The audit also evaluated the effectiveness of the management control program as it applies to the audit objective.
