Navy long-range plan shows minimal growth in many warship programs
Overall fleet growth would largely come from support vessel programs

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Navy’s fleet would never reach the statutorily required 355 ships under two of the three scenarios outlined in the service’s latest long-range shipbuilding plan.

The plan, submitted to lawmakers Monday and provided to Defense News Tuesday, also details a third scenario, which the Navy describes as one the “industrial base could support with significant additional investment not reflected in this plan” and “without funding constraints” in the federal budget. This version reaches a 355-ship fleet in 2042.


Last year, a similar three-pronged plan generated outrage on Capitol Hill. And Tuesday, Sen. Roger Wicker, the Mississippi Republican who serves as the ranking member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the latest version “seems to embrace complacency.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The status quo is a good way to insure a major blow from a foe.
