Navy Contracting: Cost Overruns and Claims Potentia on Navy Shipbuilding Contracts

摘要

The authors review selected shipbuilding contracts awarded over the past few years to determine (1) whether these contracts can be executed within the funding appropriated, (2) the status of current and future claims against the government, (3) the actions that the Navy is taking to address current and anticipated claims, and (4) whether current staffing levels at Navy Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair (SUPSHIP) activities are providing effective oversight over the contracts.
