CBO says Navy underestimates long-range ship construction cost

摘要

Teh Non-Partisan Congressional Budget Office says that the U.S. Navy's most recent long-term shipbuilding plan underestimates the cost of new ship construction over the next 30 years by 19% as compared with its own estimates. Congress requires the Navy to issue an annual report that describes its plan for build- ing new ships over the next 30 years. The CBO has prepared a report-required under the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012-analyzing the Navy's latest long-term shipbuilding plan, which covers fiscal years 2013 to 2042.
