WASHINGTON – The U.S. Navy, beset by maintenance delays, is making progress on getting its ships out of the shipyards on time, fleet officials say.
Over the past three years, the Navy is on track to more than double the percentage of ships getting out of maintenance on time, key to the service’s efforts to make deployments more sustainable for its ships and sailors, Capt. Dave Wroe, U.S. Fleet Forces Command’s deputy fleet readiness officer told Defense News in an email.
“On-time ship maintenance availability completion rates in private shipyards improved from 24% in FY18 to 37% in FY19,†Wroe said. “Current performance trends in FY20 are projected to be 65%.â€
