WASHINGTON: The Navy’s new long-range shipbuilding plan this year presents lawmakers with three potential procurement profiles for how the service could build the future fleet, depending on the funding Congress provides.
The document, which Breaking Defense obtained ahead of its public release, provides two procurement profiles that assume no real growth in the service’s budget, while a third alternative includes up to “$75B real growth beyond” the next five years.
“Evolving operational concepts and rapid technological changes make single-point predictions after approximately 10 years unreliable,” the service writes in explaining their choices.
