GAO Finds Years Of Maintenance Delays For Carriers, Subs At Navy Shipyards

摘要

Maintenance work performed on aircraft carriers and submarines at four Navy shipyards is years behind schedule due to unplanned work and performance issues leading to negative impacts on military readiness, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) says in a new report. The shipyards completed 75 percent of the maintenance periods late for carriers and submarines between fiscal years 2015 and 2019, amounting to 7,424 days of delay, says the report, Actions Needed to Address the Main Factors Causing Maintenance Delays for Aircraft Carriers and Submarines (GAO-20-588). The seven thousand-plus days of delay amounts to more than 20 years.
