Comparing a 355-Ship Fleet With Smaller Naval Forces

Congressional Budget Office

No 53637, Reports from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: In 2016 the Navy released a new force structure assessment that called for a fleet of 355 ships. CBO has estimated the costs of achieving such a fleet under two alternative approaches and has compared those scenarios with alternatives involving a fleet of 280 ships or 230 ships in 2047. This report explores the effects on shipbuilding and operating costs, the composition and capabilities of the fleet, and the shipbuilding industry.
