The Navy still can't get ships into repair and maintenance yards and then back to sea on time, but new contracting procedures have lowered costs, according to a watchdog report.
"We found that the Navy has lowered costs from initial estimates for ships' repair, but that work continues to run over schedule," the Government Accountability Office said in a report released Monday.
One of the reasons for the delays is additional repair and maintenance work that was not foreseen when the original contract was let, the GAO said.
