ARLINGTON, Virginia — Shortages of parts and skilled laborers are continuing to put the Navy behind in both building new ships and maintaining existing ones, a senior service officer said Jan. 30.

A “walk across the country” through various U.S. Navy shipbuilding projects highlighted a challenge in both new construction and sustainment across ongoing projects, Vice Adm. William Galinis, commander of Naval Sea Systems Command, said at the American Society of Naval Engineers’ Intelligent Ships Symposium.

“We are just not meeting the market,” Galinis said in a keynote speech at the event. He listed scheduling and cost performance among the Navy’s hindrances, but also a dwindling workforce and “unacceptable” lead time on parts.
