This is our final report to you on naval surface fire-support (NSFS) issues required by section 1015 of the Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999. In the first report, we assessed the readiness of the remaining Iowa class battleships and their associated logistic support structure. In our second report, we examined the Navy's plans and costs for modernizing its NSFS capabilities. This letter provides our analysis of the Navy's assessment of the short-term and long-term costs associated with alternative methods for executing the naval surface fire support mission, including the alternative of reactivating two battleships. The assessment, entitled Naval Surface Fire-Support Capabilities, was provided to Congress in a March 1999 report.
