Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dept. of Defense (DoD) generally issues annual reports that describe its plan for building new ships over the next 30 years. DoD submitted its 2014 shipbuilding plan to the Congress in May 2013, covering FY 2014 to 2043. This plan reflects the Navy's most recent goals for battle force ships -- goals that were developed in 2012 and outlined in a report to the Congress in Jan. 2013; that analysis is hereafter referred to as the 2012 force structure assessment. The goals developed in 2012 were slightly different from the ones that were outlined in the 2005 force structure assessment and were reflected in the Navy's shipbuilding plans up through last year. This report examined the 2014 plan in detail and estimated the costs of the proposed ship purchases using its own estimating methods and assumptions. It also analyzed how those ship purchases would affect the Navy's inventories of various types of ships over the next three decades. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
